How to launch browser to open local file

Question

I\'m trying to send intent to browser to open local file. I wish to use default browser to open this file.

if(file.exists()){
  Log.d(TAG, \"file.exists\");         


        

Answer 1

You need to add browsable category in the intent.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.fromFile(file));
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
startActivity(intent);
