If you want to show all the apps installed in the phone that can deal with photos such as Camera, Gallery, Dropbox, etc.

You can do something like:

1.- Ask for all the intents available:

    Intent camIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
    Intent gallIntent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    gallIntent.setType("image/*"); 

    // look for available intents
    List info=new ArrayList();
    List yourIntentsList = new ArrayList();
    PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
    List listCam = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(camIntent, 0);
    for (ResolveInfo res : listCam) {
        final Intent finalIntent = new Intent(camIntent);
        finalIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
        yourIntentsList.add(finalIntent);
        info.add(res);
    }
    List listGall = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(gallIntent, 0);
    for (ResolveInfo res : listGall) {
        final Intent finalIntent = new Intent(gallIntent);
        finalIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
        yourIntentsList.add(finalIntent);
        info.add(res);
    }

2.- Show a custom dialog with the list of items:

    AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
    dialog.setTitle(context.getResources().getString(R.string.select_an_action));
    dialog.setAdapter(buildAdapter(context, activitiesInfo),
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                    Intent intent = intents.get(id);
                    context.startActivityForResult(intent,1);
                }
            });

    dialog.setNeutralButton(context.getResources().getString(R.string.cancel),
            new android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    dialog.dismiss();
                }
            });
    dialog.show();
