Is there a good solution for picking a file in an android application? I need the user to be able to browse their SD card for a file they would like to load. However, it cannot use an outside application (like andExplorer or OI File Manager). It must stay contained inside my application and not require users to install other applications.

Using Intent.GET_CONTENT will not work because the files are of a custom type.

Thanks!

Answer 2

Ironically I ended up integrating the OI File Manager into my application myself, since the source had been released via svn.

If there's a better way for those looking for the answer to the same question feel free to speak up.
