public void openFolder()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
+ "/myFolder/");
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "text/csv");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"));
}


An other MIME type like "*/*" is also possible.

"*/*"

Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT

Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE

try to replace your code with this line

btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
+ "/myFolder/");
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "text/csv");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"));


}
});


It works:

Uri selectedUri = Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/myFolder/");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(selectedUri, "resource/folder");
startActivity(intent);


Have a nice codding :)

setDataType

Pick root:

Intent selectFile = new Intent();
selectFile.setAction("com.sec.android.app.myfiles.PICK_DATA_MULTIPLE");
selectFile.putExtra("CONTENT_TYPE", "*/*");
selectFile.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
startActivity(selectFile);


I found a solution in this GitHub repo

The code :

If you want open & browse file: FileBrowser.class

Intent intent = new Intent(activity, FileBrowser::class.java)
intent.putExtra(Constants.INITIAL_DIRECTORY, File(storageDirPath).absolutePath)
intent.putExtra(Constants.ALLOWED_FILE_EXTENSIONS,"*")

startActivityForResult(intent, CODE_INTENT )


If you want to get user chosen file's URI: FileChooser.class

Intent intent = new Intent(activity, FileChooser::class.java)
intent.putExtra(Constants.INITIAL_DIRECTORY, File(storageDirPath).absolutePath)
startActivityForResult(intent, CODE_INTENT )
