Android intent to open gallery not working on KitKat (4.4)

I am developing an application that should allow the user to select a profile picture, and I want to give them a simple option to either take a picture or select an existing one from the gallery.

My searches led me to https://stackoverflow.com/a/2129/2/2 , so I changed the code in one of the answers for my purposes. Here is what I have:

public static Uri openImageIntent(Activity context) {
    Uri outputFileUri = null;
    File cache_dir = context.getExternalFilesDir("photos");

    cache_dir.mkdirs();

    File image_file = null;
    try {
        image_file = File.createTempFile("profile", ".jpg", cache_dir);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    if (image_file != null) {
        File sdImageMainDirectory = new File(cache_dir.getAbsolutePath(), image_file.getName());
        outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(sdImageMainDirectory);

        // Camera.
        List<Intent> cameraIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
        Intent captureIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
        List<ResolveInfo> listCam = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(captureIntent, 0);

        for(ResolveInfo res : listCam) {
            final String packageName = res.activityInfo.packageName;
            final Intent intent = new Intent(captureIntent);
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
            intent.setPackage(packageName);
            intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
            cameraIntents.add(intent);
        }

        // Filesystem.
        final Intent galleryIntent = new Intent();
        galleryIntent.setType("image/*");
        galleryIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);

        // Chooser of filesystem options.
        final Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(galleryIntent, "Select Source");

        // Add the camera options.
        chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, cameraIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));

        context.startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, Constants.RequestCodes.CHOOSE_PICTURE);
    }

    return outputFileUri;
 }
