Android: Intent to open root explorer

Question

I'm looking for the intent of a Root Explorer (e.g. Super Manager, Root Explorer...) I just want to create a button that opens this explorer. I found the intent of OI Filemanager but this has no root function.

Contact the developers at support@speedsoftware.co.uk and ask them. — CommonsWare, Nov 19 '11 at 22:51

Try this 

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("file/*");
intent.setData(Uri.parse("file://"));
startActivity(intent);

Open another application from your own (intent)

Here is one of the ways:

    Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
    intent.setComponent(ComponentName.unflattenFromString("com.google.android.maps.mytracks/com.google.android.apps.mytracks.MyTracks"));
    intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
    startActivity(intent);

That link above should have all the info you need, though.

Of course, this method doesn't open the file explorer specifically. You would have to change the package name appropriately.
