FileBrowser

A FileBrowser / FileChooser for Android that you can integrate to your app to browse/select files from internal/external storage.

Android Arsenal

Using Maven

<dependency> <groupId>com.adityak</groupId> <artifactId>browsemyfiles</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency>

In build.gradle

compile 'com.adityak:browsemyfiles:1.2' 

It easily integrates with your app's color scheme. You can change the color scheme using the following in your styles.xml

<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> <item name="android:actionModeBackground">@color/actionModeToolbar</item>

There are 3 main classes to use the library.

  1. FileBrowser - Used to just Browse files in storage (has all file IO features)
  2. FileChooser - Used to select single/multiple files in storage (has some IO features)
  3. FileBrowserWithCustomHandler - Used to run custom code when files are selected (has all IO features)

1. FileBrowser

Use following Intent to start the FileBrowser

Intent i4 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), FileBrowser.class); startActivity(i4);

2. FileChooser

Use following Intent to start the FileChooser

  • For Single Selection
Intent i2 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), FileChooser.class); i2.putExtra(Constants.SELECTION_MODE,Constants.SELECTION_MODES.SINGLE_SELECTION.ordinal()); startActivityForResult(i2,PICK_FILE_REQUEST);

To get the selected file, In your calling activity's onActivityResult method, use the following

if (requestCode == PICK_FILE_REQUEST && data!=null) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { Uri file = data.getData(); } } 
  • For Multiple Selection
Intent i2 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), FileChooser.class); i2.putExtra(Constants.SELECTION_MODE,Constants.SELECTION_MODES.MULTIPLE_SELECTION.ordinal()); startActivityForResult(i2,PICK_FILE_REQUEST);

To get the selected file, In your calling activity's onActivityResult method, use the following

if (requestCode == PICK_FILE_REQUEST && data!=null) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { ArrayList<Uri> selectedFiles = data.getParcelableArrayListExtra(Constants.SELECTED_ITEMS); } } 

3. FileBrowserWithCustomHandler

Register a Broadcast receiver and handle the onReceive method like below

public class FileSelectedBroadCastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Uri filePath = intent.getParcelableExtra(com.aditya.filebrowser.Constants.BROADCAST_SELECTED_FILE); } }

Register the receiver like the following snippet

 <receiver android:name=".FileSelectedBroadCastReceiver" android:exported="false" android:enabled="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.adityak.filebrowser.FILE_SELECTED_BROADCAST" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> 

If you also need some other parameters to be sent with the broadcast use the following when creating the activity

Intent i = new Intent(mContext, FileBrowserWithCustomHandler.class); Bundle ib = new Bundle(); //add extras i.putExtras(ib); startActivity(i);

and in the broadcast receiver use the following to get the extras

Bundle b = intent.getExtras()
