Open a selected file (image, pdf, ...) programmatically from my Android Application?
Try the below code. I am using this code for opening a PDF file. You can use it for other files also.
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"Report.pdf");
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent pdfOpenintent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
pdfOpenintent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
pdfOpenintent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
try {
startActivity(pdfOpenintent);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
}
If you want to open files, you can change the setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf"). If you want to open different files with the same intent, you can use Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open in...");. For more information, look at How to make an intent with multiple actions.
Use this code ,which helped me to open all types of files ...
private void openFile(File url) {
try {
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(url);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
if (url.toString().contains(".doc") || url.toString().contains(".docx")) {
// Word document
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/msword");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".pdf")) {
// PDF file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/pdf");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".ppt") || url.toString().contains(".pptx")) {
// Powerpoint file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".xls") || url.toString().contains(".xlsx")) {
// Excel file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/vnd.ms-excel");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".zip")) {
// ZIP file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/zip");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".rar")){
// RAR file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/x-rar-compressed");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".rtf")) {
// RTF file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/rtf");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".wav") || url.toString().contains(".mp3")) {
// WAV audio file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "audio/x-wav");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".gif")) {
// GIF file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/gif");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".jpg") || url.toString().contains(".jpeg") || url.toString().contains(".png")) {
// JPG file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/jpeg");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".txt")) {
// Text file
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "text/plain");
} else if (url.toString().contains(".3gp") || url.toString().contains(".mpg") ||
url.toString().contains(".mpeg") || url.toString().contains(".mpe") || url.toString().contains(".mp4") || url.toString().contains(".avi")) {
// Video files
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "video/*");
} else {
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "*/*");
}
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(context, "No application found which can open the file", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
