Want Open exactly the Gallery in Android

I want to open the default Gallery in Android device, but when I used the following code it opens "Photos" if user preference that.

Code I used,

Intent in = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
in.putExtra("crop", "true");
startActivityForResult(in, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);

You should have to use this code.

by this you can switch to Gallery.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("content://media/internal/images/media"));
startActivity(intent);

You can use the following:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://media/internal/images/media")); 
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
startActivity(intent);

You can do it in a similar way I used below. You have to set Class Name manually. This will probably won't work on older devices and future devices. The class name will definitely change.

I think they will get rid of Gallery application and just use Photos at some point.

in.setClassName("com.android.gallery3d", "com.android.gallery3d.app.Gallery");
if(isAvailable(context, in)) {
    //Open it. 
}
else {
    //Do it the old way
}

And the isAvailable function is

public static boolean isAvailable(Context ctx, Intent intent) {
    if(ctx == null)
        return false;
   final PackageManager mgr = ctx.getPackageManager();
   List<ResolveInfo> list =
      mgr.queryIntentActivities(intent, 
         PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
   return list.size() > 0;
}

I think setPackage(String packageName) do your task.

Example 

Intent in = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
in.putExtra("crop", "true");
in.setPackage(PACKAGE_NAME_OF_GALLERY); // Make sure if it is com.android.gallery3d
startActivityForResult(in, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
