There is no “standart system files browser” in Android.
Assuming that you know the name and MIME type of the file, you can create an
ACTION_VIEWIntent, usingsetDataAndType()to supply theUrito the file and the MIME type. Then, callstartActivity()on thatIntent. If the user has chosen a default activity to apply to this type of file, or if there is only one activity that can view the file, then the activity will start. Otherwise, the user will get a “chooser” to allow a choice from the various possible activities.
