You only want the user to select an image, am I right? Then maybe a general file picker isn't whats best suited for your needs.

A quick google search came up with this (also from SO). It seems like that solution is limited to pictures on an SD card.

If you don't want to click the link:

This is how you would start an intent in order to get an image. 

Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO);

You'll then need to override onActivityResult(), but this is all described in the link.
