Picking an image from Android Gallery & Picassa

Question

I am trying to open an image/picture in the Gallery built-in app from inside my application as described in here.

My "picker" activity works fine as long as the image is stored in the device, but the gallery app also displays images from Picassa, which returns a null path.

Does anyone knows how to fix this, either by getting the path or tell the "picker" intent to ignore Picassa as a provider, and only show me what is on my device?

Thanks.

I had this same problem here

What I did was just check the returning Uri to see if the selected image was a picassa image. probably not the best option but it works since there is no way to tell the image picker what images to show
