How to browse folder in android and get the path of folder selected

Question

When I click a button,show a file browser,I can choose a folder and return it's path.I get this path to copy file to that path.

But I have no idea of How I could implement this.

I have yet looking for this question in Stackoverflow but I haven't find a clear answer to my question.

I saw some libary of filebrowserview like "https://github.com/psaravan/FileBrowserView",but not work.

Use intent for that!

First start start activity for result like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("file/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, PICKFILE_REQUEST_CODE);

Override this method in your activity, it will get called when activity you just started returns. You can handle result codes such as canceled or successful.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
     String Fpath = data.getDataString();
    //TODO handle your request here
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

Another approach is to use library such as NoNonsense-FilePicker.
