Simple Android Directory picker - How?
Try to use Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){ Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE); i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "Choose directory"), 9999);}And get the result Uri from onActivityResult data.getData()
@Overrideprotected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); switch(requestCode) { case 9999: Log.i("Test", "Result URI " + data.getData()); break; }}
There's an open source library that does directory chooser and open/save file activities as well. It can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/BoardiesITSolutions/FileDirectoryPicker.
Works on Android API Level 17 and above
