Select images with intent

I am trying to upload image file to php server. I created a button which intents to all the images folder

Intent image = new Intent ();
image.setAction (Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
image.addCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
image.setType ("image/*");
startActivityForResult (Intent.createChooser (image, "SELECT image"), 1);

The problem is that the image file only uploads when selected from gallery folder. It only see images selected from gallery folder as valid file. I want the application to be able to upload from any image folder like images folder, downloads folder, photos folder etc.

When you startActivityForResult(intent) you have to get its result after starting that like this

first of all create your intent

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,getResources().getString(R.string.selectPic)), PICK_IMAGE);

then listen for its result

    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
    {
         if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
             if (data == null) {
                 //Display an error
                 return;
             }
                 InputStream inputStream = this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.getData());

     }

now you have an inputStream from your selected image next step is to getting its bytes and create a bitmap of that.

good luck !
