Actually, I need to open the default Download folder from my application. Is it possible? If yes, then please provide some reference.

I am able to get the path of Download folder with the help of:

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)

Any help will be well appreciated.
