Generally the correct way to do this is start a chooser activity for the GET_INTENT action with the MIME type you want (or */* for all MIME types). This will allow the user to pick from all of the apps that manage data, and use their picker where appropriate. For example, this allows them to browse through their images as pictures to pick one of those, or even do ad-hoc things like record a sound that will be returned.
You really shouldn't be using something like IO File Manager directly. Instead, that thing should publish as handling GET_CONTENT of any MIME type, so if the user has it installed they can use it to pick what they want, in addition to the other types of content available. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_GET_CONTENT On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 7:46 AM, ANDREA P <[email protected]> wrote: > > In my code I want to open a File Chooser from a button , because when > I click the button in the program i can choose a file from Android > file system... > > Thanks...... > > On 28 Feb, 16:38, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > > ANDREA P wrote: > > > Is there a FileChooser for Android ??? > > > > As a widget, no. > > > > > Because I want to select a file from File System and after send it. > > > > Consider using OI File Manager from OpenIntents.org: > > > > http://www.openintents.org/en/node/159 > > > > -- > > Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com > > > > Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 > http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml > > > -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
