Code Implementation 👨‍💻

It's a super simple to implement. Just call the openFileManager method and add androidConfig for Android and iosConfig for iOS.

import 'package:open_file_manager/open_file_manager.dart';

openFileManager(
   androidConfig: AndroidConfig(
       folderType: AndroidFolderType.recent,
   ),
   iosConfig: IosConfig(
       // Path is case-sensitive here.
       folderPath: 'Reports/Sheets',
   ),
);

Default method without config:

import 'package:open_file_manager/open_file_manager.dart';

openFileManager();

copied to clipboard

If androidConfig is not provided, the Android app will open the Downloads folder by default.

If iosConfig is not provided, the iOS app will open the app's Documents folder by default.

Open Other folder on Android:

To open a specific folder on Android, you need to set folderType as AndroidFolderType.other and provide the folderPath in AndroidConfig:

import 'package:open_file_manager/open_file_manager.dart';

openFileManager(
    androidConfig: AndroidConfig(
        folderType: AndroidFolderType.other,
        folderPath: 'Pictures/Screenshots',
    ),
);

copied to clipboard

The folderPath supports the following path formats:

• Pictures/Screenshots
• /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Screenshots
• /storage/243F-4E12/Pictures/Screenshots

If folderPath does not exist, the Recent folder will be opened.
