What I wanna do:
I wanna get the path as a String of a file, which I choose via an Android File Manager.
What I have:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open with ..."), FILE_SELECT_CODE);
This code, works nearly fine for me, but there is one problem. I can only select my file with the following apps:
My Question:
Does anyone have a working code for choosing any file via the Android File Manager?
You can use this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
For samsung devices to open file manager use this:
Intent intent = new Intent("com.sec.android.app.myfiles.PICK_DATA");
intent.putExtra("CONTENT_TYPE", "*/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
