In applications, how to call the software installed in the system to open a file is a common problem. Below is a method I have used. Let's share it with you!
This is a method to open a file:
 
 
 
Java code /**
* Open a file
* @ Param file
*/
Private void openFile (File file ){

Intent intent = new Intent ();
Intent. addFlags (Intent. FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK );
// Set the intent Action attribute
Intent. setAction (Intent. ACTION_VIEW );
// Obtain the MIME type of the file
String type = getMIMEType (file );
// Set the data and Type attributes of intent.
Intent. setDataAndType (/* uri */Uri. fromFile (file), type );
// Jump
StartActivity (intent );

}
 
/**
* Obtain the corresponding MIME type based on the file suffix.
* @ Param file
*/
Private String getMIMEType (File file ){

String type = "*/*";
String fName = file. getName ();
// Obtain the position of the separator "." Before the Suffix in fName.
Int dotIndex = fName. lastIndexOf (".");
If (dotIndex <0 ){
Return type;
}
/* Get the file suffix */
String end = fName. substring (dotIndex, fName. length (). toLowerCase ();
If (end = "") return type;
// Find the corresponding MIME type in the MIME-object type matching table.
For (int I = 0; I <MIME_MapTable.length; I ++) {// MIME_MapTable ?? Here you must have a question: what is the MIME_MapTable?
If (end. equals (MIME_MapTable [I] [0])
Type = MIME_MapTable [I] [1];
}
Return type;
}
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MIME_MapTable is a String array of the MIME type corresponding to the suffix of all files:
 
Java code <span style = "white-space: pre;"> </span> private final String [] [] MIME_MapTable = {
// {Suffix, MIME type}
