// ...
	
	private static final int EX_FILE_PICKER_RESULT = 0;

	// ...
	
		Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ru.bartwell.exfilepicker.ExFilePickerActivity.class);

	public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
		if (requestCode == EX_FILE_PICKER_RESULT) {
			if (data != null) {
