How to get all images path of android gallery, no matter its Internal or external?

As far as i know

File directory = new File(
            android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                    + File.separator + "100ANDRO");

will get the image directory, but i am afraid if some phones have different directory then it wont work, is there any direct way that android api provides us to get all the image paths without hard coding the directory name as 100ANDRO ?

Thanks in advance.

    ArrayList fileList = new ArrayList();

// Pass directory path to this function and it will return the files 

        public ArrayList<File> getfile(File dir) {
            File listFile[] = dir.listFiles();
            if (listFile != null && listFile.length > 0) {
                for (int i = 0; i < listFile.length; i++) {
                    if (listFile[i].isDirectory()) {
    //                    fileList.add(listFile[i]);
                        getfile(listFile[i]);
                    } else {
                        if(listFile[i].getName().endsWith(".jpg")
                              || listFile[i].getName().endsWith(".png")   
                              || listFile[i].getName().endsWith(".jpeg")
                              || listFile[i].getName().endsWith(".gif")
     )
                        {
                            fileList.add(listFile[i]);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return fileList;
        }

You can use MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI which is only the external storage.For the internal there is MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI. You can use a MergeCursor to combine both query results.

The main thing is to make use of the MediaStore class, which is a Media provider that contains data for all available media on both internal and external storage devices (such as an SD card). An adapter is used as a bridge between the data and the view.

For the implementation check out Demo Fetch Images from SDcard and display in GridView
