How to open a dialog to search a file on Android? A Filedialog

Question

My question is about opening files in my Android application, how to upload image from mobile to the server where I first need to choose the image on my mobile. I’d like to know what I need to use to open one FileDialog, as in C# if I’m not mistaken, in Android to choose an image file or text that is and load it in my application so I can work with it (Send, Modify anyway).

You can use this code that will return the URI of the image selected by Picker. Then you can use this Uri to upload the image or send it somewhere else.

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE);
