I'm writing an Android FTP server program. I need to select files to send to client, so I need a file chooser and I wrote this code:
Java:
Intent filechooser= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
filechooser.addCategory("*/*");
filechooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
startActivityForResult(filechooser, 10);
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.sender">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".Chooser"></activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I get a No activity found to handle intent
exception.

You are using wrong file category(/). It should be a type instead of category.
If you want to choose any file from storage you need code like below.
private void showFileChooser() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("*/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
try {
startActivityForResult(
Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a File to Upload"),
FILE_SELECT_CODE);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
// Potentially direct the user to the Market with a Dialog
Toast.makeText(this, "Please install a File Manager.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
