exFilePicker.start(this, EX_FILE_PICKER_RESULT);
// ...
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == EX_FILE_PICKER_RESULT) {
ExFilePickerResult result = ExFilePickerResult.getFromIntent(data);

ExFilePicker library provide two themes for ExFilePicker's activity: dark and light (ExFilePickerThemeDark and ExFilePickerThemeLight respectively). If you need to customize ExFilePicker's activity view, you can extend your own theme from any ExFilePicker's theme and override needed options. To set theme you need specify activity in Manifest:
<activity
android:name="ru.bartwell.exfilepicker.ui.activity.ExFilePickerActivity"
android:theme="@style/ExFilePickerThemeDark"
tools:replace="android:theme"/>Sample application is no more available on Google Play: account 'bartwell' was banned and all appeals was declined or ignored. To see how it works you can download debug version here.
