Answer 1

you can do the following using EXTRA_MIME_TYPES (from API 19):

final String[] ACCEPT_MIME_TYPES = {
        "application/pdf",
        "image/*"
  };
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("*/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); 
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, ACCEPT_MIME_TYPES);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);

UPDATE

There is also another solution but it may or may not work based on users experiences but you can try it to see if it works in your case:

intent.setType("image/*,application/pdf");

However the application that you try to invoke should also supports to MIME types as well
