Pick a file

org.openintents.action.PICK_FILE

Pick a file through a file manager.

The picked file URI can be obtained in onActivityResult() through getData().

Details can be found in the sample application TestFileManager in the public repository.

You may want to use the OI File Manager intent definition file.

Use

public void startPickAFile(String title, String buttonText) {
    Intent intent = new Intent("org.openintents.action.PICK_FILE"); 
    intent.setData(dataUri); // A file URI for suggested file name or starting directory. Can also be left empty. 
    intent.putExtra("org.openintents.extra.TITLE", title); // String
    intent.putExtra("org.openintents.extra.BUTTON_TEXT", buttonText); // String
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) { 
      startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
    }
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) { 
      // handle result
    }
}

Example intent filter

<activity ...>
    <intent-filter>
