Call the list of File Managers from the mobile application

My Android application is accessing the SDCard.

I have developed the source code to display the folder & files on the SDCard.

Currently, I want to provide the option where the user can view the SDCard Folder/File structure using the File Managers(Astro Manager , Linda Manager) already installed on the user's Android mobile device.

How can I call or provide the list of options of the file managers to the user.

Any hints/suggestions are welcome.

you need to add this line in manifest file.

<meta-data android:name="com.android.ui.DocumentModuleActivity"
                android:value="MWare" />

            <intent-filter android:priority="1">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                    <action android:name="com.android.ui.DocumentModuleActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

                <data android:scheme="file"   />
               <data android:mimeType="application/*" />
                <data android:host="*" />
                <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.las" />
            </intent-filter>

You can use this piece of code for OI Filemanager:

Intent intent = new Intent("org.openintents.action.PICK_FILE");
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

Or you use the VIEW Intent with the mimetype
