ACTION_GET_CONTENT is the standard intent to do this. I don't know why you are also setting CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE, but don't. (You will want to use CATEGORY_OPENABLE if you only want data that can be opened as a stream, as described in the docs.) If you use GET_CONTENT with type */*, then anyone who can let the user pick data will be available.
As far as the music picker playing the music... yes it does, so the user can hear what they are actually picking. This is a feature. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_GET_CONTENT On Thu, Nov 5, 2009 at 9:00 AM, Tatyana Ulyanova <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, friends! > > In application i'm developing i need to open some standard dialog to > browse files on the phone.
