code template for uploading file code for android

Question

I have been working on an android app that has uploading pictures and PDF files as one of its functions but i have a limited experience when it comes to the "uploading" activity for the PDF file (files excluding media files), although i have managed to successfully write the code for the "uploading" activity for images (part of that code can be found below). so the question is, what code template should i follow for the upload activity of the PDF file? and if you have any advice on how to make the uploading procedure faster or optimized it would be greatly appreciated.

        case R.id.selectImageToUpload:
            Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
            startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
            break;
        case R.id.selectFileToUpload:   break;

Have you tried to build your own URI in place of `MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI`? — OneCricketeer, Oct 15 '16 at 16:48
hmm that is actually a good idea, would it be as fast tho (the performance)? — Dawit Tilahun Davatron, Oct 15 '16 at 16:50
Have you tried this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28978581/how-to-make-intent-settype-for-pdf-xlsx-and-txt-file-android or this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8945531/pick-any-kind-file-via-an-intent-on-android — OneCricketeer, Oct 15 '16 at 16:50
It's just an Intent. The performance isn't the problem, it's finding the file — OneCricketeer, Oct 15 '16 at 16:51
