Import this library into your own Android Studio project

The first step is to prepare your Android Studio's 'build.gradle' files (Project level and module level). The second step is to allow the permissions needed by the app.

Project level

Under 'allprojects' insert the following line:

maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }

Module level (usually your 'app'- module)

Under 'dependencies' insert this line:

implementation 'com.github.codingbychanche:FileDialogTool:master-SNAPSHOT'

In the example above the 'SNAPHOT'- tag is used to download the latest version of the code. You should check for the latest release under the 'Relase' tab of this repository and use that instead to import a stable release.

Permissions

Add the following permissions to your app's 'manifest'- file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission>

Before starting the app for the first time on your device, you need to set the app's permission to access internal memory (got to settings => app => permissions).

Add new activity to your manifest file

Finally add:

 <activity android:name="berthold.filedialogtool.FileDialog"/>
