Can i selectively open only Internal storage or External Storage

[james04gr]

There are times that i want to open images only from InternalStorage or other times only from ExternalStorage and other times both. How can i do that?
My fileProvider is

<paths>
    <files-path
        name="files"
        path="." />

    <external-files-path
        name="external_path_files"
        path="." />

    <external-path
        name="external_files"
        path="."/>
</paths>

Thank you
