You can create a chooser for user to select between apps and to know what has user selected, u can use onActivityResult. – Surbhi Aggarwal Mar 06 '19 at 05:46

@Emil a problem is I should give mimetypes to intent before onActivityResult. Google Photos accepts only first – Miras Temirbay Mar 06 '19 at 08:09

What have you tried so far? What kind of "problem" are you facing? – Nico Haase Mar 06 '19 at 08:34

See this code to select images or videos from the Gallery or Google Photos
int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 111;
imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
String[] mimeTypes = {"video/*","image/*"};
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
intent.setType(mimeTypes.length == 1 ? mimeTypes[0] : "*/*");
if (mimeTypes.length > 0) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, mimeTypes);
}
} else {
String mimeTypesStr = "";
for (String mimeType : mimeTypes) {
mimeTypesStr += mimeType + "|";
}
intent.setType(mimeTypesStr.substring(0,mimeTypesStr.length() - 1));
}
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"ChooseFile"), PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);
}
});

As far as i know, there is no such a way to know about application name which is selected by the user,and you do not need to worry about it.If you tell me your actual problem i will help it out :) – Akshay Dobariya Mar 06 '19 at 08:22

okay) My problem is when I want to pick a media, device suggesting Gallery and Google Photos. Imagine if user picked Google photos. Then app shows me only image or video(I want both). Google photo accept only first mimetype – Miras Temirbay Mar 06 '19 at 08:27

you can set your own mimetype, and set that mimetypes to the intent using EXTRA_MIME_TYPES. it will only allow particular types(in your case Photos/Video). whether it is Gallery or Google Photos, it will work in both. – Akshay Dobariya Mar 06 '19 at 08:35
