Answer 1

Its not required If you want to show all available images in gallery in your application. You can use

private Cursor cc = null;
cc = this.getContentResolver().query(
                MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, null, null,
                null)

This will give you a connection with files available in gallery. More detailed answer is here

How to implement Image Gallery in Gridview in android?

If In case in your application you have an image view and you want your user to click on the image and then Android should ask if they want to select an image from gallery/camera you can follow this, You can call selectImage method on setOnClickListener on ImageView.

 private void selectImage() {
        final CharSequence[] items = { "Take Photo", "Choose from Library" };
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        builder.setTitle("Update Profile Photograph");
        builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
                boolean result = Utility.checkPermission(getActivity());
                if (items[item].equals("Take Photo")) {
                    if(result)
                        cameraIntent();
                } else if (items[item].equals("Choose from Library")) {
                    if(result)
                        galleryIntent();
                }
            }
        });
        builder.show();
    }
private void cameraIntent() {
        Intent takePicture = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        File out = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
        out = new File(out, familyMemberId + ".png");
        Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), getContext().getPackageName() + ".app.provider", out);
        takePicture.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
        startActivityForResult(takePicture, 0);
    }

    private void galleryIntent() {
        Intent pickPhoto = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
        startActivityForResult(pickPhoto , 1);//one can be replaced with any action code
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent imageReturnedIntent) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);
        switch(requestCode) {
            case 0:
                if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
                    File out = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
                    out = new File(out, familyMemberId + ".png");
                    Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), getContext().getPackageName() + ".app.provider", out);
                    Toast.makeText(getContext(), photoURI.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    imageUri =  photoURI.toString();
                    Glide.with(this).load(imageUri).into(familyMemberProfilePick);
                }

                break;
            case 1:
                if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
                    Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
                    imageUri =  selectedImage.toString();
                    Glide.with(this).load(imageUri).into(familyMemberProfilePick);
                }
                break;
        }
    }

Please don't forget add these in

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application ...

 <provider
            android:name=".utility.GenericFileProvider"

            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
