File Selector

                startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

To capture the result, use this method.

        if(requestCode == 0 && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
            ArrayList<File> Files = (ArrayList<File>) data.getSerializableExtra(FILES_TO_UPLOAD); //file array list
            String [] files_paths; //string array
            int i = 0;

            for(File file : Files){
                //String fileName = file.getName();
                String uri = file.getAbsolutePath();
                files_paths[i] = uri.toString(); //storing the selected file's paths to string array files_paths
                i++;
            }
        }else{
        }

    }
