I'm looking for a way to allow a user to press a button to browse the contents of the SD card, and then select a folder, whose path will be returned to the application. Similar to how you pull up the "Browse..." dialog on Windows for installations.

There is nothing built into Android for it AFAIK. You can integrate something like OpenIntents File Manager, but that is a separate APK that users would need to install.

I thought this might be the case...It's weird that you can pull up the gallery for a photo chooser, and it has an option to select multiple images, but you can't really do anything with that selection, as far as I can tell.

Okay, so what I ended up doing was just using a ListActivity with a ListView (choiceMode:simple_list_item_multiple_choice) where the user can check the folders they wish to use. Then I used a custom layout that placed a Submit button below the ListView, which the user can press to confirm the selection.

You can use AndroXplorer, the hook is quite simple, but then again, yes, it is another APK to install
