Retrieving only images from gallery when firing android image chooser intent

Question

I am allowing the user to select an image from the device using the following code:

(from this post)

public class BrowsePicture extends Activity {

         


        

Answer 1

No. That is up to the application the user chooses to satisfy the SELECT_PICTURE.

That said, there are ways to block images from showing in the Gallery all the time by adding flag files to folders or hiding the folders, but that is not what you asked. You can't do it from your program.
