Call system software installed to open file

How to call in the application installed in the system to open a file.

This is a way to open the file:

private void openFile(File file) { 
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
//Set the intent of the Action Properties
intent.setAction (Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
//Get the MIME type of the file file
String type = getMIMEType(file);
//Set the data, and Type properties of the intent.
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), type); /*uri*/
startActivity (intent);
} 

File extension corresponding to the MIME type:

private String getMIMEType(File file) {  
    String type="*/*";  
    String fName = file.getName();  
    //Get the extension separator "." Position in the fName.
    int dotIndex = fName.lastIndexOf(".");  
    if(dotIndex < 0){  
        return type;  
    }  
    /* Get the suffix of the file name */  
    String end=fName.substring(dotIndex,fName.length())
    .toLowerCase();  
    if(end=="")return type;  
    //MIME and file types match table to find the 
    //corresponding MIME type. 
    for(int i=0;i< MIME_MapTable.length;i++){
    //MIME_MapTable? Here you have questions 
    about this MIME_MapTable 
        if(end.equals(MIME_MapTable[i][0]))  
            type = MIME_MapTable[i][1];  
    }         
    return type;  
}  

MIME_MapTable is a String array of all the file extension corresponding to the MIME type:

private final String[][] MIME_MapTable={  
            //{Extension, MIME type} 
            {".3gp",    "video/3gpp"},
