how to open gallery via intent without result

Question

Hey guys, I´ve got a small problem im stucked with. I have a kind of an ApplicationLauncher that has to start the build-in gallery. But I dont want to get any result from that gallery... I just want to start it and want my "Launcher" to close after that.

What ive tried:

    Intent intentBrowseFiles = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intentBrowseFiles.setType("image/*");
    intentBrowseFiles.setFlag(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    startActivity(intentBrowseFiles);

but it doestn even work with this flag... as soon as I click on a pic in the gallery, it closes and returns to my "Launcher". Is there any way to achieve what i want to do? Thanks in advance, Max

I just want to start it and want my "Launcher" to close after that.

Call finish() after you call startActivity() to close up your "Launcher".

Answer 2

Calling finish in your launcher and clearing the activity stack may help, but your problem is probably related to the fact that your intent is Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT.

Looks like you're trying to get content from the gallery, and that is what it is doing. Try ACTION_VIEW instead.
