In the code, it's asked to choose general file means not specific such as jpg, mp3 so it opens up general file chooser. You have to pick manually what it needs to pick.
If you need to pick pictures, replace
i.setType("*/*");
by
i.setType("image/*"); // image with all extension
i.setType("image/png"); // for PNG
