Open a selected file image pdf programmatically from my Android Application

Question

I m working on an Android application which should be able to open a selected file from a specific folder   I already tried this  but after selecting which application I want to open it  I got this message      Impossible loading   After trying a lot of thread 1 and thread 2  I use these lines of code to do it   Intent intent   new Intent    intent setAction Intent ACTION VIEW   intent setDataAndType Uri parse   mnt sdcard xxx xxx Pictures xxx jpg     image      myContext startActivity intent     How can I figure this out

Try the below code  I am using this code for opening a PDF file  You can use it for other files also   File file   new File Environment getExternalStorageDirectory                          Report pdf    Uri path   Uri fromFile file   Intent pdfOpenintent   new Intent Intent ACTION VIEW   pdfOpenintent setFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP   pdfOpenintent setDataAndType path   application pdf    try       startActivity pdfOpenintent     catch  ActivityNotFoundException e         If you want to open files  you can change the setDataAndType path   application pdf    If you want to open different files with the same intent  you can use Intent createChooser intent   Open in        For more information  look at How to make an intent with multiple actions
