Android Central Question

I am a guitar player and have downloaded some gp5 guitar tabs.

I have also downloaded tuxguitar which can play gp5 files.

When i try to open the files from myfiles i get cannot open file search googleplay.

When i open the files with total commander im given a list of apps and have to select tuxguitar every time.

How do i set tuxguitar to always always open gp5 files?

Why is everything so difficult in android?

It's more complex than that - I joined aeons ago using a long defunct email address - i editted in my current email address.

So added a new account using a spare email address i have.

But cant get anything to work!
 
Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Apps, tap Menu, then Reset App Preferences. Now see if you can select your app.

You may see it as more difficult, but I tend to see it as more versatile and powerful. When there are more options, it tends to get less simple.
