Question: Open a directory in the default file manager

Open nozwock opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I'm aware of xdg-open and termux-open for opening files in their respective default applications, but how could I go on about opening some directory in the default file manager?

I activated ssh daemon on port 2221, and used Cx File Manager sftp feature to access termux home directory on localhost. Screenshot_20230809-110649

@nozwock

am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d '/storage/emulated/0/Download' -t 'resource/folder'  -n com.cxinventor.file.explorer/com.alphainventor.filemanager.activity.LaunchActivity
  • -d ... is for the directory
  • Omit the -n ... to open in default app/show app chooser
