    intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intent.setType("*/*");
    startActivityForResult(intent, KITKAT_VALUE);
} else {
    intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
    intent.setType("*/*");
    startActivityForResult(intent, KITKAT_VALUE);
}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == KITKAT_VALUE ) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            // do something here
        }
    }
}
