I want to create a picture chooser from gallery. I use code
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, TFRequestCodes.GALLERY);
My problem is that in this activity and video files are displayed. Is there a way to filter displayed files so that no video files will be displayed in this activity?
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);
