Select the docx, doc, rtf, pdf file from the SD card or with any application in android

Question

I'm currently trying to select a specific file type from an SD card or with any application, but I failed, my code looks like this:

Intent intent; if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT); else intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE); intent.setType("application/pdf|application/msword|application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document" + "|application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template" + "|application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12" + "|application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12" + "!application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12|application/rtf"); startActivityForResult(intent, Constants.ImagePicker.REQ_PICK_RESUME); 

but he just selects each type of file.

try this code:

 Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("application/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select file"),1 );
