Android Intents How to pick a file with an Intent?

The code allows any application to call AndExplorer intent to pick a file on phone or SDCard. AndExplorer is free and available at: http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andexplorer/index.html 

int PICK_REQUEST_CODE = 0;

Intent intent = new Intent();

intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_PICK);

Uri startDir = Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard"));

// Files and directories !

intent.setDataAndType(startDir, "vnd.android.cursor.dir/lysesoft.andexplorer.file");

// Title

intent.putExtra("explorer_title", "Select a file");

// Optional colors

intent.putExtra("browser_title_background_color", "440000AA");

intent.putExtra("browser_title_foreground_color", "FFFFFFFF");

intent.putExtra("browser_list_background_color", "00000066");

// Optional font scale

intent.putExtra("browser_list_fontscale", "120%");

// Optional 0=simple list, 1 = list with filename and size, 2 = list with filename, size and date.

intent.putExtra("browser_list_layout", "2");

startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_REQUEST_CODE);

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)

{

   if (requestCode == PICK_REQUEST_CODE)

      Uri uri = intent.getData();

      String type = intent.getType();

      LogHelper.i(TAG,"Pick completed: "+ uri + " "+type);

      if (uri != null)

      {

         String path = uri.toString();

         if (path.toLowerCase().startsWith("file://"))

         {

            // Selected file/directory path is below

            path = (new File(URI.create(path))).getAbsolutePath();

         }

      }

   }

   else LogHelper.i(TAG,"Back from pick with cancel status");
