In fact your dialog title is "select an action" means the dialog is a Intent chooser actually. not a user customed dialog. The every single item presents a Intent.

public void click(View view) {
        File file = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM);
        Uri cameraOutputUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
        Intent intent = getPickIntent(cameraOutputUri);
        startActivityForResult(intent, -1);
    }

    private Intent getPickIntent(Uri cameraOutputUri) {
        final List<Intent> intents = new ArrayList<Intent>();

        if (true) {
            intents.add(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI));
        }

        if (true) {
            setCameraIntents(intents, cameraOutputUri);
        }

        if (intents.isEmpty()) return null;
        Intent result = Intent.createChooser(intents.remove(0), null);
        if (!intents.isEmpty()) {
            result.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intents.toArray(new Parcelable[] {}));
        }
        return result;


    }

    private void setCameraIntents(List<Intent> cameraIntents, Uri output) {
        final Intent captureIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        final PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
        final List<ResolveInfo> listCam = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(captureIntent, 0);
        for (ResolveInfo res : listCam) {
            final String packageName = res.activityInfo.packageName;
            final Intent intent = new Intent(captureIntent);
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
            intent.setPackage(packageName);
            intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, output);
            cameraIntents.add(intent);
        }
    }

You may need solve permissions by yourself if run on OS >= 23
