GMan Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 24, 2014 #1 In some Apps i see this kind of "function": i.e. if i click on a file in a databrowser i can then select (in a new little window called OPEN AS) with choices like TEXT, IMAGE, EXPLORER etc etc. When i have selected one, a new window with depending apps, which are installed on my device, is opened). Is this an internal function or are that handmade screens ? BEST of all: is there a customizable lib ?

GMan Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 24, 2014 #3 Sure...here a sample with an Audio File. In the 1st screen i click AUDIO, in the next one one of my installed apps for that type of file. If done with the TEXT choice, some installed Editors will be presented Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 25, 2014 #5 The first screen is a custom dialog specific to this app. The second screen is the standard intent chooser dialog that appears when you send an intent. You can force it to show by calling Intent.WrapAsIntentChooser. Upvote 0

You can force it to show by calling Intent.WrapAsIntentChooser. Click to expand... I do not find a way to open a file based on its extension and even to list the apps that are able to open "that" file. I have initialized the Intent like this: i.Initialize (i.ACTION_VIEW, "file://" & FullFilename) FullFilename contains the path and file name. I have tried using WrapAsIntentChooser but without success. Must I set the "setType" of the Intent after a "Select Case Extension"? Upvote 0

GMan Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 25, 2014 #8 with the ContenChooser it works this way: Code: Copy Dim CC As ContentChooser CC.Initialize("CC") CC.Show("text/*", "Choose Text") ' CC.Show("image/*", "Choose image") ' CC.Show("audio/*", "Choose audio file") Upvote 0

I'm afraid of having to use something like: Code: Copy Select Case Extension Case "jpg", "png"... i.SetType... Case "txt", "doc"... i.SetType... Case "3gp", "mp4"... i.SetType... End Select Upvote 0
