Open Gallery App in Android

I figured out the way..

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(
 "content://media/internal/images/media")); 
 startActivity(intent); 

This piece of code just opened the gallery without any issues. Could get it working on all versions!

Thought to put it as answer for people who are looking to open a Gallery on all versions.

Thanks Guys! :)

android pick images from gallery

Absolutely. Try this:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE);

Don't forget also to create the constant PICK_IMAGE, so you can recognize when the user comes back from the image gallery Activity:

public static final int PICK_IMAGE = 1;

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE) {
        //TODO: action
    }
}

That's how I call the image gallery. Put it in and see if it works for you.

EDIT:

This brings up the Documents app. To allow the user to also use any gallery apps they might have installed:

    Intent getIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    getIntent.setType("image/*");

    Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
    pickIntent.setType("image/*");

    Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(getIntent, "Select Image");
    chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[] {pickIntent});

    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, PICK_IMAGE);
