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 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

Selecting camera or gallery for image in Android   I had worked hard on Camera or gallery Image Selection  and created some util class for this work  With the use of these class  Selecting image camera or gallery is too easy    it just took 5-10 mints of your development      Step-1  Add these classes in your code    ImagePickerUtils  - http   www codesend com view f8f7c637716bf1c693d1490635ed49b3   BitmapUtils  - http   www codesend com view 81c1c2a3f39f1f7e627f01f67be282cf   ConvertUriToFilePath  - http   www codesend com view f4668a29860235dd1b66eb419c5a58b5   MediaUtils  -  https   codeshare io 5vKEMl  We need to  Add these Permission in menifest       lt uses-permission android name  android permission CAMERA    gt     lt uses-permission android name  android permission WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE    gt     lt uses-permission android name  android permission READ EXTERNAL STORAGE    gt     lt uses-feature android name  android hardware camera    gt     lt uses-feature android name  android hardware camera autofocus    gt    This class function  checkAndRequestPermissions  auto check the permission in Android-Marshmallow and Android - Nougat      Step-2  Calling camera class for launching camera intent        Create a global veriable          private Uri mCameraUri       private static final int CAMERA REQUEST CODE   100      Call this function when you wants to select or capture an Image         mCameraUri   ImagePickerUtils createTakePictureIntent this  CAMERA REQUEST CODE        Step-3  Add onActivityResult in your Activity for receiving data from Intent        Override     protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data            super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data           if  resultCode    Activity RESULT OK                Uri fileUri   ImagePickerUtils getFileUriOfImage this  data  mCameraUri               try                   Bitmap bitmap   null                  if  CAMERA REQUEST CODE    requestCode                        bitmap   new BitmapUtils   getDownsampledBitmap this  fileUri  imageView getWidth    imageView getHeight                                       if  bitmap    null                  imageView setImageBitmap bitmap                  catch  Exception e                    e printStackTrace                                    I hope it helps you  If any one having any suggestion to improve these class please add your review in comments

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
