You will have to open the text file using File.ReadString, you also will need a file chooser for that.

That is a good start, also you can use ActionBars to add Drives and Paths. That way, each folder in the path bar is clickabe making navigation easier.

Also you can use a ListView with AddTwoLinesAndBitmap2("The path", "File type", Icon, "Return value")
