There is no activity on your device that supports ACTION_VIEW of a content Uri for whatever MIME type that content is. There is no requirement for an Android device to have an ACTION_VIEW activity for every possible piece of content.

Are you sure this is the problem here? If i just open a single one with this code: String path = "/storage/emulated/0/comidos/sent/ANFRAGE_4006209501061_357330077957793_2017-03-14-09-07-43-47_001.jpg"; Intent i=new Intent(); i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)), "image/*"); startActivity(i); It works – TBrauwers Mar 15 '17 at 15:58
@TBrauwers: "Are you sure this is the problem here?" -- that is what the exception is telling you. "If i just open a single one with this code" -- whatever activity is responding to that `Intent` supports `file` and not `content` as a scheme. – CommonsWare Mar 15 '17 at 15:59
Okay i guess your right... Do you know any solution for my problem(Opening a gallery with a specific folder) I already tried it with an ImageAdapter and a Grid view but this is super slow even on my S7... – TBrauwers Mar 15 '17 at 16:07
@TBrauwers: "Do you know any solution for my problem(Opening a gallery with a specific folder)" -- there are hundreds, if not thousands, of gallery apps, and none have to have any ability to start on a particular directory's worth of images. "I already tried it with an ImageAdapter and a Grid view but this is super slow even on my S7" -- my guess is that you did not use an [image loading library](https://android-arsenal.com/tag/46), but that's just a guess. – CommonsWare Mar 15 '17 at 16:10
No ive tried the solution from developer.android but thanks for the input ill try it out. – TBrauwers Mar 15 '17 at 16:18
