Android Samsung: how to intent samsung file explorer

I would like to get a nicer file explorer as the one which is chosen automatically by Intent. On my phone there is also the file explorer from Samsung. However it never shows up.

Here my code snippet in Kotlin

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT).apply {
                addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
                data = selectedUri
                addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)
            }

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("*/*"); 
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);

For Samsung Users

val intent = new Intent("com.sec.android.app.myfiles.PICK_DATA");
intent.putExtra("CONTENT_TYPE", "*/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
