        final String[] columns = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA,

                MediaStore.Images.Media._ID };

        final String orderBy = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID;

        imagecursor = managedQuery(

                MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns, null,

                null, orderBy);

        int image_column_index = 0;

        if (imagecursor != null) {

            image_column_index = imagecursor

                    .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID);

            count = imagecursor.getCount();

        }

        imgSelected = new String[count];

        arrPath = new String[count];

        thumbnailsselection = new boolean[count];

        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {

            if (imagecursor != null) {

                imagecursor.moveToPosition(i);

                // int id = imagecursor.getInt(image_column_index);

                int dataColumnIndex = imagecursor

                        .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);

                arrPath[i] = imagecursor.getString(dataColumnIndex);

            }

        }

Here is the code to open your specified folder to browse your files:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);

Uri uri = Uri.parse("folder path");

//Change content type as you want if you dont know then just mention "*/*"

intent.setDataAndType(uri, "text/csv");

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"));
