I am trying to create a file browser for the sdcard. And I have seen this on htc touch phone. In that phone if I click on sdcard it shows all the files in that and if there is some file and I clicked on it, it will open that file. I am trying to create that kind of application.
My question was, if I can browse through sdcard and I know that the file is "...txt" then why can't I open it like all other files?
