How do I see file type on Android?

To get the data type of a shared file given its content URI, the client app calls ContentResolver. getType() . This method returns the file’s MIME type. By default, a FileProvider determines the file’s MIME type from its filename extension.

How do I identify a file type?

Right-click the file. Select the Properties option. In the Properties window, similar to what is shown below, see the Type of file entry, which is the file type and extension.
