I am trying to make a button that when on click will change the view and open up the native file explorer on a tablet. I found a potential solution with code like this:
fileBrowseButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
startActivity(packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.My Files.android"));
}
});
The only issue I seem to have is I can't identify the name of the package that is the file explorer, I tried looking around in the app manager. I know on my Motorola phone its:
com.motorola.filemanager
Anyone know what the package name?
The possible workaround is downloading something like Astro and using that instead, but I would prefer the native app first.
I did some apk digging and found the package name for my device...
Now I know this will not work on other devices, I tested it on Motorola device and got an error (which was expected).
The package name for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 native file browser turned out to work with the name:
"com.sec.android.app.myfiles"
Thanks
