How to 'Open directory in TC' from my launcher?

[zcoke]

Hi

I'm making some changes to my Kodi interface and I'm adding some shortcuts. I now want to add a shortcut to a specific folder (/Shared/new) so I need these few lines of code for opening folder in TC. I have no experience in programming but for now I'm doing well. This is an example for my Kodi favorites item that simply opens Total Commander app:

<favourite name="Total Commander">
StartAndroidActivity("com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander")
</favourite>


Now I need the same for opening a specific dir in TC (which I would put instead of these line in italics).

I would be very thankful if someone could provide me these few lines of code.

Greetings

Does Kodi somehow allow to pass URLs to opened apps? If yes, try sending e.g.
file:///storage/emulated/0
or
content:///storage/emulated/0

Yes, it does. However, the question is what is the right action for opening a dir. I'm pretty sure ACTION_VIEW is not for opening folders, so I need to know the right action. Does Kodi allows to pass URLs to opened apps, it does, yes.

For example, this would work in Kodi:

Code: Select all

StartAndroidActivity(com.android.chrome,android.intent.action.VIEW,,http://kodi.tv/)

That would open a web page url in Chrome.

MAIN should work, that's the one used by the launcher for the main form:
StartAndroidActivity(com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander,android.intent.action.MAIN,,content:///storage/emulated/0)
