The intention of the gallery is showing only the image or the video not both?
I'm trying to allow a user to select an image or video from their device and currently it only shows the video or image depending on which is written first in the following code:
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
//set type to include video too
galleryIntent.setType("image/*, video/*");
startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, GALLERY_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE);
}
};
not sure what i am doing wrong but the setType seems to be correct, i tried with and without comma between image and video ...

case 2: //Choose Pic
Intent choosePhotoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
choosePhotoIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(choosePhotoIntent, PICK_PHOTO_REQUEST);
break;
case 3: //Choose Video
Intent chooseVideoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
chooseVideoIntent.setType("video/*");
Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this,getString(R.string.video_message), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
startActivityForResult(chooseVideoIntent, PICK_VIDEO_REQUEST);
break;
Try the above. You need to have separate options.

I ran into the same problem where it would only use the first MIME type in the list.
This ended for me:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT, MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType("*/*");
String[] mimeTypes = {"image/*", "video/*"};
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, mimeTypes);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_CAMERA_ROLL);
