Answer 1

The following is an example of what you need: 1) Shows on the screen option of choice: selects gallery photo or photo taking; 2) Shows in imageview; 3) Upload to a web api, I use for Asp.net mvc but can be used for other languages as well;

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.btnChooseImage:
            final CharSequence[] items = { "Take Photo", "Choose from Library",
                    "Cancel" };
            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(UploadDocumentsActivity.this);
            builder.setTitle("Add Photo!");
            builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
                    boolean result= UtilityPermission.checkPermission(UploadDocumentsActivity.this);
                    if (items[item].equals("Take Photo")) {
                        userChoosenTask="Take Photo";
                        if(result)
                            cameraIntent();
                    } else if (items[item].equals("Choose from Library")) {
                        userChoosenTask="Choose from Library";
                        if(result)
                            galleryIntent();
                    } else if (items[item].equals("Cancel")) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                }
            });
            builder.show();
            break;
        case R.id.btnUploadImage:
            uploadImage();
            break;

    }
}

private void galleryIntent()

    Intent intent = new Intent();

            if (data != null) {
                try { bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), data.getData());
