Set background image not from drawable folder

Issue

I would like to set a background image but not from drawable folder, the image is from gallery which is internal storage.

Is it possible to do that ?

Solution

call this from Activity

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE);

You may open Gallery intent from Activity and also handle OnActicityResult method ..... Try This link for solution

So, now for setBackground you can convert bitmap to drawable using below code..

Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(),bitmap);
view.setBackground(d);

I hope this may help you...
