Would be nice to be able to change dir into an external sd card.

I tried the example code provided, prior to integrate aFileChooser in an app of mine I'm trying to develop. I haven't been able to change directory into my external sdcard (/storage/sdcard1 or /mnt/extSdCard), remaining into the internal one (/storage/sdcard0 or /mnt/sdcard). Other than this, It's a great opportunity to be able to use such a good coding example. Thanks.

Yeah, right now it is just defaulting to Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(). This could be configurable though, so I will expose the base directory as an option in the next release. Feel free to do so yourself, and submit a push request. :-)

I believe it should be an optional Bundle Extra, that FileChooserActivity can read in onCreate. It would be best to add a helper method to FileUtils. Something like:

public static Intent createGetContentIntent(String path) {
    final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); 
    intent.setType("*/*"); 
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
    intent.putExtra(FileChooserActivity.PATH, path);
    return intent;
}

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll have to wait your next release, since, right now, I'm just a beginner, finding it's own way in Android programming.

Hi, I beleive for external SD card support for a start it would be enough to change 47th line in FileChooserActivity:

from public static final String EXTERNAL_BASE_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(); to public static final String EXTERNAL_BASE_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getParent();

Also, sometimes FileChooserActivity returns Uri and it is not very simple to get a File from returned Uri, so it would be great to use something like this:

public static String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) { String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA }; CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(context, contentUri, proj, null, null, null); Cursor cursor = loader.loadInBackground(); int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA); cursor.moveToFirst(); return cursor.getString(column_index); }

This code will return real file path from Uri.

So, I will try to submit this changes after complete my project. Thank you for your aFileChooser.
