Picking only images from gallery Android - android

I use
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, null), Photo.REQUEST_PICK_FROM_EXISTING);
Only images are getting displayed and with an option to use third party file manager apps which shows videos too. I want user to choose third party apps but choose only images. Is there any way to control it ?


Use the below code:
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO);
Hope this helps.

how to change profile picture on whatsapp

I want to access the dp (profile picture) option of whatsapp using android code I have used that code
Code
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri);
intent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(intent);
but every time it open with share image option instead of change dp picture option in whatsapp i don't know where i am doing mistake I hope anyone here can help me. Thanks
guys i corrected question what actually i am asking

Finally after 1 day of exploring I came up with the Solution
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ATTACH_DATA);
intent.setDataAndType(uri), "image/jpg");
intent.putExtra("mimeType", "image/jpg");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Set image as"), 200);
With the help of this code snippet, you can set profile photo of Whatsapp as well as Contacts.

You can open Whatsapp or share image and video but can't change profile picture from your own app.

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
{
uri=FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(),BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID+".provider",new File(list.get(position)));
}else{
uri=Uri.parse(list.get(position));
}
Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ATTACH_DATA);
intent.setDataAndType(uri,"image/*");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri);
startActivity(intent);

How to pick images from Gallery instead of Photos in android?

I am using the following code to pick images.
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
photoPickerIntent.setData(android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(photoPickerIntent, getActivity().getResources().getString(R.string.select_picture)), 1);
Its working fine but it only let me to choose images from default Photos application. I want to pick images from "Gallery" application even in today's latest devices. I don't know how WhatsApp is doing this even for Lollipop.

I am using This code in my app and it works fine for me..
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType("image/* video/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 3);

How to pick multiple files from Android's gallery?

i need to open gallery and pick 1-n images OR 1-n videos (2 different intent) from Android's gallery, like the ACTION_PICK intent. How can I achieve that? There are some cool library on GitHub for multiple pick or custom gallery?

If you use API 18 or higher, you can add to your intent.putExtra like so:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*,video/*"); //For choosing both images and/or videos
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true); //This should allow multiple selection
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select Picture"), 1);
There is also a GitHub project to build your own GridView with multi selection
Read here

To pick multiple files from gallery you need to simply modify your intent. For example:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setType("image/*");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(
Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select"), 1);
Please note the i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);

Android open folder image with built-in gallery

I want to open a images folder with android built-in gallery.
For example, I have a folder path that contains images, i want to open it with gallery.
I am using this code, it opens the gallery that contains no images.
Any idea?
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(folderImages)),"image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

Maybe try this one:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, ""), 1)
