I am having difficulty finding a way to opening a users camera roll/photo gallery on a button click on Android. The solution I am looking for includes accessing the camera roll/photo galley, allowing the user to select an image, saving that selected image to a file, then lastly saving that file to a database such as parse.com. Please help and thank you in advance!
Please refer to the link below. I would like for the implementation to be similar to the one found on IOS.

It is calling image gallery and also saving image and displaying it again.
