Question

I have tried so many answers related to this question but didn't work any of them. this my code but it didn't open the myFile folder. Please help me to resolve this issue

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
      val uri = Uri.parse(
            (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().absolutePath) + "/myFile/")
      intent.setDataAndType(uri, "*/*")
      startActivityForResult(intent, WRITE_ACCESS_CODE)

Answer 1

This code may help you:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("file/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, YOUR_RESULT_CODE);

If you want to open a specific folder:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);

intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
 +  File.separator + "myFolder" + File.separator), "file/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, YOUR_RESULT_CODE);

Answer 2

try this -->

  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
     +  File.separator + "myFolder" + File.separator);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "text/csv");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"));

OR

// location = "/sdcard/my_folder";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri mydir = Uri.parse("file://"+location);
intent.setDataAndType(mydir,"application/*");    // or use */*
startActivity(intent);
