Set Type in Intent to start Activity

Question

I am trying to open Documents and Images both at same time, I have used SetType method to open Image and PDF, but both of them can't be opened at same time. Is there any solution to open at same time? Here I have posted sample code.

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
 intent.setType("image/*");
 intent.setType("application/pdf/*");

Try this

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent .setType("*/*");
String[] mimeTypes = {"image/*", "application/pdf"};
intent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, mimeTypes);

Then define the type based on the returned result.
