Question

not sure why whenever i call the default file manager via intent, there is a “Package Installer” in the list, selecting it would popup and error “There is a problem parsing the package”.

screenshot:

im using this code btw

intent = new Intent();
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("file://" + mRecorder.getRecordDir()));
startActivity(intent);

Answer 1

You have no action on your Intent. If you are going to use implicit Intents, please provide an action.

whenever i call the default file manager via intent

First, there is no “default file manager” in Android, as Mr. Stratton points out in his comment.

Second, I have no idea why you think that Intent would bring up a “default file manager” in any case.
