Open folder in Android/Xamarin.Android programatically
0
I want to open folder programatically. I used the below code but no luck
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView);
var uri=Uri.Parse("/storage/emulated/0/myFolder");
intent.SetDataAndType(uri, "*/*");
intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);
// activity.StartActivity(Intent.CreateChooser(intent, "choose folder"));
activity.StartActivity(intent);
It shows various apps like Phone, Messaging, ES File Explorer, contacts etc. I want to open the default file explorer to open that folder.

Hi @Amit if want to open the default file explorer, you can do that in Native Android:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("*/*");//set type , here is setted to every type.
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
startActivityForResult(intent,1);
Other types :
intent.setType("image/*"); //set type be image
intent.setType("audio/*"); //set type be audio
intent.setType("video/*"); //set type be video （mp4 3gp be suported in android）
intent.setType("video/*;image/*");//set type be all video and image
And when back to app ,can deal with file in here:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
//no choose no continue to here
Uri uri = data.getData();
//get file's url , so last can get file
String proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor actualimagecursor = managedQuery(uri, proj, null, null, null);
int actual_image_column_index = actualimagecursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
actualimagecursor.moveToFirst();
String img_path = actualimagecursor.getString(actual_image_column_index);
File file = new File(img_path);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, file.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Also in this way can open the specified file, need to use method setDataAndType like follow:
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(dir.getParentFile()), "file/*.txt");
the dir is the File folder where file in this,like follow:
String compName = AppString.getCompanyName();
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/" + compName + "/OSC_DATA/";
File dir = new File(path);
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdirs();
}

The main problem ofIntent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);is: It opens the file browser window and when user click on any items, its closes and returns to the main activity of the app. I don't want user to pick the content (as Get_Content do). I just want to open the folder just like we open the link in the browser and user is free to do with that.
