public void ChoosePicture(View v) {
    Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
    photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
    startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, 1);
}

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    switch (requestCode) {
    case 1:
     {
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
      {
        Uri photoUri = data.getData();
        if (photoUri != null)
        {
        try {
              String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
              Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(photoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null); 
              cursor.moveToFirst();
              int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
              String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
              cursor.close();
              bMap_image = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
              ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gallery1);
              img.setImageBitmap(bMap_image);


     }catch(Exception e)
      {}
      }
    }// resultCode
    }// case 1
    }// switch, request code
}// public void onActivityResult

mmh, somehow it changed the position of my last few "}".

This code will let you select an image from the gallery and then show it on an imageview.

I use this code on my device, and works like a charm.

Try using this for your intent:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);

If you are wanting to always use the stock Gallery Application I don' think you need to use an Intent Chooser so you might be able to change your startActivity to this:

startActivityForResult(intent, SELECT_PICTURE);
