Is it possible to use the default image gallery on Android and populate it with a custom set of images to display?

When I use ASTRO filebrowser to go through my folders and open an image, I get the choice to use either the ASTRO image viewer, or the default image viewer. I would like to use the latter with a set of multiple images that come directly out of a database, so a way I thought about would be using a custom Adapter that reads the images from the database and makes them available as Views.

The gallery widget does support this, but I would like to reuse the default image gallery as it supports a lot more features (especially zooming) that I would need to implement myself otherwise.

So is it possible to start an Intent to open the default image viewer with multiple images that come out of a database?
