aFileChooser is a deprecated Android library project that provides a built-in file explorer activity so users can select any file without needing a separate file manager app installed. It simplifies GET_CONTENT intent handling, MIME type detection, and hooks into the Storage Access Framework.
Use cases
- let users pick any file from external storage in my android app
- add a file chooser without requiring a file explorer app
- simplify GET_CONTENT intent creation on android
- browse and select files with a full file explorer ui
- determine mime types of selected files
- support storage access framework document providers
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android app on old API levels that needs a self-contained file picker
- you cannot rely on users having a file manager app installed
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the library is deprecated and unmaintained
- you only need media file selection via standard intents
- you can use modern Storage Access Framework APIs directly
