    Intent intent = new Intent(); 
    intent.setType("image/jpeg");
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, 
    getResources().getString(R.string.select_picture)),GALLERY_INTENT_CALLED);

      Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);

      super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
      if (resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK) return;
      if (null == data) return;
      Uri originalUri = null;

      if (requestCode == GALLERY_INTENT_CALLED) {
           originalUri = data.getData();
      } 
      else if (requestCode == GALLERY_KITKAT_INTENT_CALLED) {
           originalUri = data.getData();
           final int takeFlags = data.getFlags()
            & (Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
            | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);

            // Check for the freshest data.
            getContentResolver().takePersistableUriPermission(originalUri,    takeFlags);
      }
