I would like to let user pick directory and save downloaded file (my app downloads file). I know that some tools (for example, ES File Explorer) provide such intent-filters. see http://www.estrongs.com/en/support/developers.html. I start activity for result and then get selected folder as a result.
Also, I know that there are no "select folder" intent standards (I can't use the same intent with other tools). Do you know other tools to support such functionality ? I would like to let user use his tool, not ES File Manager.
Also, does Astro provide such intent filters? I can't find this info on their page. (I think astro is the most used file manager for android)

List view: You press and hold a file to select it and a check mark will appear next to it when it is selected.
Click the first file or folder you want to select. Hold down the Shift key, select the last file or folder, and then let go of the Shift key. Hold down the Ctrl key and click any other file(s) or folder(s) you would like to add to those already selected.
Head to Settings > Storage > Other and you'll have a full list of all the files and folders on your internal storage. (If you'd prefer this file manager be more easily accessible, the Marshmallow File Manager app will add it as an icon to your home screen.)
I've recently come across something that might potentially help here: http://www.openintents.org/en/node/159
It has a demo application showing how it can interact with third party applications as a file/directory picker.
That said, I have not tried it yet. I stumbled across this question as I am still looking for other options.
Edit: actually, it looks very similar to your ES File Manager link. Perhaps it is merely a clone.
