In this post I'll show you how to open the default system photo chooser and also let the user crop the photo to the size you require.
Launch the photo chooser like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,  android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra("crop", "true");
intent.putExtra("scale", true);
intent.putExtra("outputX", PHOTO_WIDTH);
intent.putExtra("outputY", PHOTO_HEIGHT);
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

PHOTO_WIDTH and PHOTO_HEIGHT is the width and height the output photo will have. Android will do all the resizing for you. You can also set the aspect-ratio, in this example it’s 1:1.

After the photo has been chosen and cropped the user will return to your application:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {
        return;
    }

    if (requestCode == 1) {
        final Bundle extras = data.getExtras();

        if (extras != null) {
            Bitmap photo = extras.getParcelable("data");
        }
    }
}

And now you have your photo as Bitmap :)
