Open folder on card

Question

I thought this was something really simple, but it\'s giving me more work than the rest of the whole app.

I just want a button to open the \"Downloaded Files\" folde

Answer 1

wow.. Finally!! After many things I tried, the only way it worked was by wrapping the URI string into a File first, and then do a Uri.fromFile:

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/MyDownloadedFiles/");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "*/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString(R.string.action_downloaded)));
