Hi All,

I would like to know how to get a file of any type(random file) using content chooser.

OR

how to open the file managers installed in the phone to get the file path.

Hi NJDude,

I searched the forums. I also used content chooser to open the file managers in my phone but i get a message No such application exist. im using the below code

        CC.Initialize("CC")
        CC.Show("file/*","Choose File")

Regards,
SK

You mentioned "random file" (not sure what you mean by that) but you can also do this:

CC.Show("*/*","Choose File")

I tried that. It opens up google drive. I do not get any option to choose other files. random file can be a .dat file for random access files.

Content chooser will work with registered mime types, otherwise, you will get an error or not the expected results.
