How to work with ES File Explorer
ES File Explorer provides intents PICK_FILE, PICK_DIRECTORY and extras for developers to present an "Open file", "Save file", or "Select folder".
- Intent
| Intent | Action |
| com.estrongs.action.PICK_FILE | Select a file |
| com.estrongs.action.PICK_DIRECTORY | Select a directory |
- Extras
| Extra | Meaning |
| com.estrongs.intent.extra.BUTTON_TITLE | Assign a new title, like Save or Open to the pick button |
- Example
This demo shows how the code works，download [apk], [src]
- When you click the “Open a file” , the code is like:
Intent intent = new Intent("com.estrongs.action.PICK_FILE ");
intent.putExtra("com.estrongs.intent.extra.TITLE", “Open”);
…
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_FILE_TO_SAVE);
…
Then the ES File Explorer will show, like:
When the button “Open” is clicked, the file selected is returned.
The selected file URI can be obtained in onActivityResult() through getData(), like:
case REQUEST_CODE_PICK_FILE_TO_OPEN:
// obtain the filename
if (uri != null) {
Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.open_message) + " " + uri.getPath(), 0).show();
}
break;
