Answer 1

Recommended solution: User a permission library like Dexter or KotlinPermissions or RxPermissions. I have used all of them and they are quite reliable.

Else:

Write these lines in your activity, just bellow super.onCreate(...) and before setContentView(...):

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Here, thisActivity is the current activity

    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
    }

    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
    }

    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, 1);
    }
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Now it should work, it fixed the problem for me!
