So please tell me how to open that recent activity and select any file and how to upload it on server.

Please help me this very important for me.

Answer 1

you can use */* for open all files as in android.

Intent intent = new Intent();    
intent.setType("*/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString(R.string.perform_action_with)), attachmentChoice);

note:where attachmentChoice is Constant.
