I want to open specific path folder using Intent, I used code for File explorer and It working perfectly but in some device (samsung devices) if file explorer app are not available then It not opening folder of specific path. I tried many solutions but It won't work for me.
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(new File(filePath).getParent()));
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "resource/folder");
if (intent.resolveActivityInfo(getPackageManager(), 0) != null)
{
startActivity(intent);
}
else {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "file/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"));
}
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
intent.setDataAndType(
Uri.parse(
(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().path
+ java.io.File.separator) + "myFile" + java.io.File.separator
), "*/*"
)
intent.addFlags(
Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
and Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION
and Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION
and Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PREFIX_URI_PERMISSION
)
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
startActivityForResult(intent, WRITE_ACCESS_CODE)
Here is my solution for accessing "root/Downloads/Sam" in Kotlin
val rootPath = "content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary:"
val samPath = Uri.parse("$rootPath${Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS}%2fSam") //"%2f" represents "/"
val REQUEST_CODE_PICK_FILE = 1
main_sam_button.setOnClickListener {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
intent.type = "text/plain" //specify file type
intent.putExtra(DocumentsContract.EXTRA_INITIAL_URI, samPath) //set the default folder
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_FILE)
}
