I have seen this post and this very good article on how to open gallery app with an intent, let user choose a photo, and get a reference to the chosen photo in my own app.

I want that the user may be able to choose an album (a folder) on the gallery instead of a photo.

Is this possible with an intent? If yes, how? If not, what can I do?

  • what have you tried so far? What's your findings saying? – Paresh Mayani Nov 09 '17 at 12:04
  • Yes you can request a list of all albums first and let the user choose one to open. – greenapps Nov 09 '17 at 12:10
  • I've tried doing this another way. I made my own activities for browsing through the device storage, and selecting and returning folders. This works, but I have written the entire gallery logic again (about navigation through folders). I was hoping that there is a more direct way of doing this. – kshubham07 Nov 09 '17 at 12:12
  • @greenapps yes, that is how I have done. But isn't there a way to open the actual gallery app and get it done? One downside of this method is that you won't see the attractive gallery UI, unless you clone it in your app. – kshubham07 Nov 09 '17 at 12:15
  • Then your subject is not to the point. It seems that you want to open the Gallery app displaying a specific folder. Does not have much to do with selecting. Would you really let the user select a folder if possible? – greenapps Nov 09 '17 at 12:18
