android- open gallery and choose image and video
In my project I want to open a gallery on a button click and should be able to pick image or video to get path of them.
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
From above code i am able to open gallery but in this case i am only able to choose image. So, please help me in choosing video also. Thanks in advance.
Answer
On Android 6.0 and above using "video/* image/" or "image/ video/*" type doesn't work, it only recognizes the first filter you specify. I solved the problem using this code:
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("*/*");
photoPickerIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, new String[] {"image/*", "video/*"});
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, Constants.SELECT_PHOTO);
Although this will ask the user which app they want to use to select the image/video.
