Your options are listed here: SaveAs - Let the user select a target folder + list of other related methods

        Dim cc As ContentChooser
        cc.Initialize("cc")
        cc.Show("*/*", "Choose File")
        Wait For CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, Filename As String)

Dim ra as RandomAccessFile
ra.Initialize(Dir, FileName,True)

Thanks Erel,

I was able to use the following to view the files

B4X:

        Dim cc As ContentChooser
        cc.Initialize("cc")
        cc.Show("*/*", "Choose File")
        Wait For CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, Filename As String)

But the Dir and Filename returned worked fine with File.ReadString (Dir, Filename) etc but I was using RandomAccessFile and for some reason that initilize method parameters raised an exception when passing the Dir and Filename parameters stating no such file or directory , code called is below

B4X:

Dim ra as RandomAccessFile
ra.Initialize(Dir, FileName,True)

Dim ra as RandomAccessFile
ra.Initialize(Dir, FileName,True)

Dim s as string
s = File.ReadString (Dir, Filename)
