Answer 2

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("image/*"); startActivityForResult(intent, IMAGE_PICK);

no need to check if you want to pick only images then use above property. same is the case with audio and video files it automatically filters your required files.
