How to get images in gallery on android phone?

Question

I want to get images in phone gallery and show on gridview. I use Cursor:

final String[] columns = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA,
            MediaStore.Images.Media._ID};
final String orderBy = MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN + " DESC";
Cursor imagecursor = getContentResolver().query(
            MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns, null,
            null, orderBy);

My phone doesn't have SD card, I got Unfortunately app has stopped error. When I replace EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI with INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, nothing happened no errors, no images displayed.

you can get images by initiating this intent:

Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);//
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select File"), SELECT_FILE);

then handle it in onActivityResult()

     @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == SELECT_FILE)
                onSelectFromGalleryResult(data);
}
}

private void onSelectFromGalleryResult(Intent data) {

    if (data != null) {
        try {
            bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), data.getData());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
