    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == STORAGE_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
      ArrayList<String> stringArrayExtra = data.getStringArrayListExtra(FileLibUtils.SELECTED_FILES);
                            //the ArrayList will contain the absolute paths of selected files
      ....


      ....
    }
  }

You can also use the below method to get Folder and File lists

  ArrayList<Bucket> buckets =
          FileLibUtils.fetchLocalBuckets(MainActivity.this, FileLibUtils.FILE_TYPE_IMAGES);
  ArrayList<FileItem> filesInBucket =
      FileLibUtils.getFilesInBucket(MainActivity.this, buckets.get(0).bucketId,
          FileLibUtils.FILE_TYPE_IMAGES);
