Answer 1

You need to do:

1. Create a button which runs a separate activity(startActivityForResult).

2. This file choosing activity should list all the files and folders from a particular location. If you click on a folder, then activity is reinitialized for this folder(list the files from this).

3. If a file clicked, then activity should set the result, passing the filename in extras, and finish.
