Android Question Open DirDefaultExternal folder to view files

[dieterp]

My app saves an image file that it creates to the File.DirDefaultExternal folder. Once I've done that I'd like the user to have the ability to open that folder so that they can choose that file (Or others) and perform operations on them (Like whatsapp them through to somebody else). How do I go about opening the File.DirDefaultExternal folder from my app in order to do that?

Android tries to hide the file system from the users. Most devices will not have a file explorer installed.

You can add your image to the built-in gallery and then open the gallery.

Thanks Erel! I will play around with those options and revert back if I have any more questions.
