It's a example modified from last article "Custom dialog with ListView" to implement file explorer.

dialoglayout.xml, the layout of the custom dialog.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/customdialog"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="20dp"
    android:minWidth="300dp">
    <LinearLayout 
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="10dp">
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/up"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Parent folder"/>
    </LinearLayout>

 <TextView
     android:id="@+id/folder"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/dialoglist"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>
