Android Pick Video files From Gallery not Working in Nexus 5

In my application i need to send images and videos from gallery to server, i had used following code for picking images and videos from galery. It works fine in the devices which are not in lollipop version. 

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

And in the onActivityresult,

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent returnedIntent) {
     super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, returnedIntent);
     if (returnedIntent == null) return;
     switch (requestCode) {
         case REQUEST_CODE_GALLERY_FILES:
             Uri uri = returnedIntent.getData();               
             break;
     }
}

But in Nexus 5 like devices it shows only images, videos are not showed in the list. As there is Gallery is not available in Lollipop. How can i get video file also form gallery or from anywhere for lollipop devices.

Add intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, new String[] {"image/*", "video/*"}); to the SDK20+ launching, along with main type.

Try this method.

private void pickImageOrVideo() {
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
            Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK); 
            photoPickerIntent.setType("image/* video/*");
            startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent,REQUEST_CODE_GALLERY_FILES);
       } else {
            Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            photoPickerIntent.setType("*/*");
            startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, REQUEST_CODE_GALLERY_FILES);
       }
}

for both image and video you can use setType(*/*); if device is running on lollipop.

here ACTION_GET_CONTENT is give only gallery selection while ACTION_PICK give many more options to pick image and video from different action,

I hope it helps!
