regarding PICK_DIRECTORY intent
Hi Peli,
Where is this org.openintents.action.PICK_DIRECTORY intent is written??
Action string
It is just a string that you can define and use as the action. You can also copy the FileManagerIntents class from the OI File Manager source code into your application and use the static String constants defined there.
regarding PICK_FILE intent
Peli,
First of sorry to post comment of the PICK_FILE here due to no comment option is available in the PICK_FILE section.
To open a file stored in the sdcard i used following code,
first I have added follwing ACTION string variable,
public static final String ACTION_PICK_FILE = "org.openintents.action.PICK_FILE";
then I used follwing code in the onclick() function
Intent myIntent = new Intent(ACTION_PICK_FILE,Uri.parse("file://"+ file.getAbsolutePath()));
startActivity(myIntent);
but it shows error in opening file.
I also added follwing in the manifest.xml.
but still no improvemnet in the result.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
