I've seen this dialog to pick/open a file on android in some apps and it seems to me as the native one. But I can't find a way to use it in my own apps. The language of the attached screenshot is German, but I'm sure someone will recognize it. Screenshot of the file-dialog
You can use the intent ACTION_GET_CONTENT with the MIME type */*
.
It will return the URI in onActivityResult()
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent intent = new Intent()
.setType("*/*")
.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a file"), 123);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(requestCode == 123 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri selectedfile = data.getData(); //The uri with the location of the file
}
}
