Allow user to select camera or gallery for image

Question

What I m trying to do seems very simple  but after a few days of searching I can t quite figure it out    I have an application that allows the user to select multiple up to 5  images  I m using an ImageView  When the user clicks on the ImageView  I d like to allow them the option to    Select the image from the gallery  or  Use the camera to capture an image    I started by using the ACTION GET CONTENT intent  and that works well for getting to the gallery  So then I tried using the ACTION PICK ACTIVITY intent to allow the user to choose camera or gallery   Intent pickIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION PICK ACTIVITY   Intent gallIntent new Intent Intent ACTION GET CONTENT   gallIntent setType  image       Intent camIntent   new Intent  android media action IMAGE CAPTURE    pickIntent putExtra Intent EXTRA INTENT  camIntent   pickIntent putExtra Intent EXTRA INTENT  gallIntent  pickIntent putExtra Intent EXTRA TITLE   Select Source    startActivityForResult pickIntent  IMAGE SELECTOR     But it appears I can only add one EXTRA INTENT  The menu show up as expected  but the only options are Gallery and Files    no Camera     Is there a better easier way to do this that I m missing  Thanks for any help

You can create option dialog

Open Camera:

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                        cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
                                MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI.toString());
                        if (cameraIntent.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null) {
                            startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_IMAGE);
                        }

Open Gallery:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 19) {
            Intent i = new Intent();
            i.setType("image/*");
            i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
            startActivityForResult(i, GALLARY_IMAGE);
        } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 19) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
            startActivityForResult(intent, GALLARY_IMAGE);
        }

To get selection result

@Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == GALLARY_IMAGE) {
                Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
                String selectedImagePath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);
            } else if (requestCode == CAMERA_IMAGE) {
                Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
                Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
                SaveImage(bmp);
            }
        }
    }

 public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri uri) {
        if (uri == null) {
            return null;
        }
        String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
        Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        if (cursor != null) {
            int column_index = cursor
                    .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            return cursor.getString(column_index);
        }
        return uri.getPath();
    }

Method to save captured image

 private void SaveImage(final Bitmap finalBitmap) {
        Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();

                File myDir = new File(root + "/Captured Images/");
                if (!myDir.exists())
                    myDir.mkdirs();

                String fname = "/image-" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
                File file = new File(myDir, fname);
                try {
                    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
                    out.flush();
                    out.close();
                    localImagePath = myDir + fname;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }


        });
        t.start();

    }

You ll have to create your own chooser dialog merging both intent resolution results   To do this  you will need to query the PackageManager with PackageManager queryIntentActivities   for both original intents and create the final list of possible Intents with one new Intent for each retrieved activity like this   List lt Intent gt  yourIntentsList   new ArrayList lt Intent gt      List lt ResolveInfo gt  listCam   packageManager queryIntentActivities camIntent  0   for  ResolveInfo res   listCam        final Intent finalIntent   new Intent camIntent       finalIntent setComponent new ComponentName res activityInfo packageName  res activityInfo name        yourIntentsList add finalIntent      List lt ResolveInfo gt  listGall   packageManager queryIntentActivities gallIntent  0   for  ResolveInfo res   listGall        final Intent finalIntent   new Intent gallIntent       finalIntent setComponent new ComponentName res activityInfo packageName  res activityInfo name        yourIntentsList add finalIntent        I wrote this directly here so this may not compile   Then  for more info on creating a custom dialog from a list see https   developer android com guide topics ui dialogs html AlertDialog

I found this  Using   galleryIntent setType  image      galleryIntent setAction Intent ACTION GET CONTENT     for one of the intents shows the user the option of selecting  documents  in Android 4  which I found very confusing  Using this instead shows the  gallery  option   Intent pickIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION PICK  MediaStore Images Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI

Adding my solution - it will return a callback whether it is from the camera or from the galley alongside the intent   public class ImagePickerManager extends BaseAdapter    private List lt

I also had this issue and what I did was create an AlertDialog and use the setItems   method along with the DialogInterface listener   AlertDialog Builder getImageFrom   new AlertDialog Builder Fotos this   getImageFrom setTitle  Select     final CharSequence   opsChars    getResources   getString R string takepic   getResources   getString R string opengallery    getImageFrom setItems opsChars  new android content DialogInterface OnClickListener          Override     public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which            if which    0               Intent cameraIntent   new Intent android provider MediaStore ACTION IMAGE CAPTURE               startActivityForResult cameraIntent  CAMERA PIC REQUEST            else             if which    1                   Intent intent   new Intent                    intent setType  image                      intent setAction Intent ACTION GET CONTENT                   startActivityForResult Intent createChooser intent                      getResources   getString R string pickgallery    SELECT PICTURE                         dialog dismiss

This is simple by using AlertDialog and Intent ACTION PICK        camOption is a string array contains two items  Camera  Gallery      AlertDialog Builder builder   new AlertDialog Builder CarPhotos this       builder setTitle R string selectSource       setItems R array imgOption  new DialogInterface OnClickListener          public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which                   if  which  0            Intent intent   new Intent this  CameraActivity class           startActivityForResult intent  REQ CAMERA IMAGE                            if  which  1            Intent i   new Intent Intent ACTION PICK android provider MediaStore Images Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI           startActivityForResult i  RESULT LOAD IMAGE                                                      builder create                 builder show
