How to access sdcard :

Question

I am writting a program in which user can select one of the text files in the sdcard. I am using this code to give the user access to sdcard:

in oncreate method:

            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setType("*/*");
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "getFile"),
                    22);

But, I can not access the sdcard. can anybody please help me? p.s i don't want to use any external library like fileChooser or etc.

You need add a READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file:
