Select an Image from gallery in ANDROID and show it in an ImageView.

Hi all
In this tutorial I will show you how to get an image from your phone gallery and show it in an imageview.
Here we use intents to open up the image gallery and get the image URI.
Here I am setting the image type as “image” to get only the images.
And on onActivityResult if the result is OK, then get the data using getData() function and converting the imageURI to the stringPath.
Then show the image in the imageview using setImageURI.
