How to use intent for choosing file browser to select file

android, android-intent

Solution

You can use something like this:

    ....  
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intent.setType("file/*");
    startActivityForResult(intent, YOUR_RESULT_CODE);
    .... 

But I really doubt that you can set a filter third-party file browsers. Or you can try to use this file dialog: http://code.google.com/p/android-file-dialog/

Problem

How to use intent to prompt user to choose "finish action with" to choosing app to select file (assuming there is a few app to browse file in the device) I want to filter the file using an extension.. (eg. : *.sav, *.props) Thank you in advance
