Does Android have a way to browse and pick any file from an SD card using intents?
Something like:
String uri = (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()).getAbsolutePath();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Uri.parse(uri));
I am trying to send a file to other devices using Bluetooth. I can send if I give the full path of the file name in my code. I want my users to pick the file that should be send.
You can use the following code:
Intent mediaIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
mediaIntent.setType("video/*"); // Set MIME type as per requirement
startActivityForResult(mediaIntent,REQUESTCODE_PICK_VIDEO);
Then you can get the path in onActivityResult:
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == REQUESTCODE_PICK_VIDEO
&& resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri videoUri = data.getData();
Log.d("", "Video URI= " + videoUri);
}
}
