This tutorial is tested on Honeycomb 3.0 environment. In order to be used it in the lower level of Android API, I believe you could just change the target in the Android project.

Pick an image file using Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT
The intention of this project is to choose an image file available in the device storage, and simply display it in an ImageView. The benefit of using Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT is you don’t have to develop open dialog box which is not available in the Android library.
ACTION_GET_CONTENT
with MIME type */* and category CATEGORY_OPENABLE
-- Display all pickers for data that can be opened with ContentResolver.openInputStream()
, allowing the user to pick one of them and then some data inside of it and returning the resulting URI to the caller. This can be used, for example, image chooser (as shown in this article).
