You can proceed in this way in your Activity:

private static final int REQUEST_CODE_PICTURE= 1;

    /**
     * Click on View to change photo. Sets into View of your layout, android:onClick="clickOnPhoto"
     * @param view View
     */
    public void clickOnPhoto(View view) {
        Intent pickIntent = new Intent();
        pickIntent.setType("image/*");
        pickIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
        Intent takePhotoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        String pickTitle = "Take or select a photo";
        Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(pickIntent, pickTitle);
        chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[] { takePhotoIntent });
        startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, REQUEST_CODE_PICTURE);
    }

Then, add always in your Activity the method onActivityResult:

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PICTURE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            if (data == null) {
                return;
            }
            try {
                InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.getData());
                Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
                imgPhoto.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
