Try this code. It will retrieve view pictures under storage/emulated/0/Pictures/AppPics You can change the file path according to your directory path.

File sdDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File file = new File(sdDir, "AppPics");

if (file.isDirectory()) 
    listFile = file.listFiles();

EDIT: To open your folder using intent

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.withAppendedPath(Uri.fromFile(file), "/AppPics"), "image/*");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
