Hi,
I've been trying without luck to create an extension to simply open up a file at a specified location (I have the location working fine) with an app of the users choosing (or the default app if they've already specified it) - is there anyone that can help with this as extensions have really stumped me with how to get it to work.

I can see there is code here: http://www.androidsnippets.com/open-any-type-of-file-with-default-intent.html however I am really unsure how to implement this into an extension.
Thanks!

I've actually watched this playlist and it helped a great deal - I tried to implent the new code but I just don't understand it enough to implemenet. I can create the basics like adding two numbers etc but for whatever reason I couldn't get this one working. Absolutely love the series though, helped so much! They're awesome!
