Heyy, no worries,
Thanks for your ideas -
it has made me think in different directions
and that's teamwork - I am very grateful and
will post here if I manage to find a solution

It's very kind of you to take the time

Thanks Sir, tried a couple of things...

1. Added CATEGORY_OPENABLE to the permissions so it looks like this...
var p = arrayOf("android.permission.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT", "android.permission.CATEGORY_OPENABLE")

Also - I noticed that the request code for the chooser was 1 and
in the open I used 200 - so I changed this to 1 too to match the chooser
requestPermissions(p, 1)


Interestingly, now I get an array of int from the permissonsresult
Which is [-1], [-1] - both seem to fail!!

Thanks for the good leads thus far though

Agreed, thanks -
I thought that was what I was doing - I don't use the chooser second time,
Just simply call for permission using the same intent
The call for permissions is this
"val p = arrayOf("android.permission.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT")"
"requestPermissions(p, 200)"

Then using the stored URI, I simply put that in my setting of the Image URI
like this -> "imgNode.setImageURI(currentURI)"

I am sorry perhaps I didn't make that clear.

Sorry sir, don't understand...
I used the chooser - and permission was set to ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT
Obviously that's the permission I need but I thought I set that in
these 2 statements.
"val p = arrayOf("android.permission.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT")"
"requestPermissions(p, 200)"

Is that not correct? - should I do more.

Thanks so much for your time

EDIT: -
Just to clarify

When I do the requestPermissions(p,200) - this obviously goes through
the override "onRequestPermissionsResult()" - and in there I am getting
the PermissionDenied... - This is in the CreateView() of the parent form.
I will try this in the current form.

Further Edit: -
Utilising the requestPermissions call in the current form still has no change,
I am getting the following Exception...
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: opening provider com.android.externalstorage.ExternalStorageProvider from ProcessRecord{cdb11de 6067:com.example.missioncontroller/u0a153} (pid=6067, uid=10153) requires that you obtain access using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or related APIs

In Addition, following the call - it goes through the "onRequestPermissionsResult" override.
This gives a -1 in the grantResults field

Just for completeness, here's the function I originally used to call the chooser -
private fun displayFileChooser(){
val chooseFile = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)
chooseFile.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
chooseFile.type = "*/*"
startActivityForResult(chooseFile, 1)
}
And of course - the onActivityResult

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
val content = data!!.data
val src = content!!.path
currImg.setImageURI(content)
currentURI = content
currChk.isChecked = true
checkDataChanged()
}
}
