I am having difficulty returning information from an activity, my understanding of the implementation is incomplete.

What I want is the user to be able to click a button to load up the android gallery, select an image, that image (or link to the image perhaps) is converted to a bitmap/drawable which appears in my activity’s UI layout.

I have the android gallery opening but I am not getting any response back from it (I know why, there are no intents in the gallery app – which I dont have access to in order to edit, but I dont know the solution)

 ImageView galleryClick = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.addgallery);

    profilePic = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.profilepic);

    galleryClick.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);  
            intent.setType("image/*");

            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),1);

        }

    });

What I was hoping was the onActivityFinished would be called in my handwritten activity, but that method is never called (I put a breakpoint in its code

 public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { 

   if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

       if (requestCode == 1) {
          // currImageURI is the global variable I'm using to hold the content:// URI of the image
          //currImageURI = data.getData();
       }
    }
}

solutions?
