File/Folder Browser like inbuilt

Post by yogi108 » 26 Mar 2020 16:55

Hi, there
Just wonder if there is a simple selection of files/folders as the inbuilt browser in some actions.
Interacting by tapping a folder, going one level lower, tapping .. To lift up one level and select it - without leaving the action.
I don't like to build a files/folder browser from scratch - even I could. (ls command etc. )
regards
Fritz

Hi anuraag,

Cool :D

Thanks a lot, I will use this for the actual flow.
If finished I'll drop it under the flows for sharing.

Hi,
just to mention that is a good idea to have an expression action with

Code: Select all

operation == "ok" 
after the activity, which gets the file /folder from

Code: Select all

android.intent.action.OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE
because if the user does not select a file/folder you get an error in the next action.

Anyway, works fine for me,
Regards
Fritz
