How to pick image or video on Android L?

Question

I am using below code and it works fine below android 5. I am able to pick image or video from SD card.

Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("video/* image/*");
getActivity().startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, 1);

However on Android L it shows only videos. tried searching but didn't find anything, any help will be appreciated.

hi @Mohit you can use this solution for image and video

Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
photoPickerIntent.setType("*/*");
getActivity().startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, 1);

for both image and video you can use setType(*/*);

here ACTION_GET_CONTENT is give only gallery selection while ACTION_PICK give many more options to pick image and video from different action, So as per @DipeshDhakal answer you should use only ACTION_GET_CONTENT.

and this is work on android L and api 10 also.
