Opening a given folder in the standard gallery of the phone

[knovos]

Hi to you all.

I have made an App that stores pictures in a folder at the local storage card from the phone, the folder is named 'intervalpictures'.

With a push on a button I want to leave the App and start the standard gallery of the phone which opens the folder 'intervalpictures'.

I hope there is a connection possible, something like this:

StartActivity(main.OpenBrowser("http://www.webaddress.com"))

but than for standard gallery of a phone.

Any suggestions to make this button work:

Sub gallery_Click 'button pushed
??????
End Sub

Kind regards,
Knovos

To open the gallery you need to do this:

Dim i As Intent
            
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_PICK, "")
i.SetType("image/*")
   
StartActivity(i)

I don't think you can select a sub-directory.

I put the code between the subs for the button

Sub gallery_Click 'button pushed
Dim i As Intent                
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_PICK, "")
i.SetType("IMAGE/*")
StartActivity(i)
End Sub

I get this error:

Please some help, I can not see what is wrong.
Am I missing a lib?

use image not IMAGE.

That did the job! Thank you very much! NJDude

that's cool, but how do you return a selected image from the gallery?
e.g If you're selecting a picture to use in the current activity.
