I think I encountered your case before. An idea is that we will create a one item list alert dialog with selectable item, and each item will do a unique function defined by your own intention. If you want an icon for each element in items list, it should take a bit more work to do. Hope it will helpful.

    String title = "Open Photo";
    CharSequence[] itemlist ={"Take a Photo",
                  "Pick from Gallery",
                  "Open from File"};

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon_app);
    builder.setTitle(title);
    builder.setItems(itemlist, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            switch (which) {
            case 0:// Take Photo
                // Do Take Photo task here
                break;
            case 1:// Choose Existing Photo
                // Do Pick Photo task here
                break;
            case 2:// Choose Existing File
                // Do Pick file here
                break;
            default:
                break;
            }
        }
    });
    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
    alert.setCancelable(true);
    alert.show();
