Hi, I'm sure this is a simple question but I can't find an answer

I have a number of mp4 files that reside in the folder I believe to be

/storage/emulated/0/Movies or /storage/emulated/legacy/Movies

I just want an interface that I can allow my grandson to press a button and the related video will play, can this be done without having to load the files into the application

It's working!, added the new buttons and tidied up the interface and the Grandson is a happy bunny, the SDKversion is set to
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="26"/>
and given its solely on his tablet and not for anyone else does not using the GetSafeDirDefaultExternal matter
