File not found inside "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/"

I am accessing a file from "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/1565704523555.jpg". When I check if the file exists it tells me that the file was not found.
I have given all run-time permissions.

When I list all files from "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/" I can see the file in that directory.

Whenever I use "Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+/Pictures"
I can access all the files from this folders and it shows that the file exists.

I am trying this on an emulator.

Use Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) instead of Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+/Pictures.

And if you want to use your private application pictures directory use context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), where context is Android Context
