You can use this code to file the files.

int PICKFILE_RESULT_CODE=1;            
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);                 
intent.setType("file/*");              
startActivityForResult(intent,PICKFILE_RESULT_CODE);

this will help you to browse the files from your storage.
