Android file choose dialog again


i have exactly the same question as this post Choose File Dialog

i didn't see any really usable answers in there.

ideally i would like a simple java code example of a simple dialog that works like MFC CFileDialog Class, i.e. you simply new it, do a .show and it works

everything i've seen so far looks overly complicated for what should be a very simple job. can anyone help with more up to date info?

thanks

UPDATE,

in that post Choose File Dialog the answer by Kirill Mikhailov seems to work fine after a few mins testing


Solution

  • i added a cancel button to that example, seems to work fine
