I finally found out it is the google's problem. It changes the spec such that app cannot write to secondary external storage from android 5.0. And I solved it by detecting if it is the removable sd card to hide all those files by modifying the original source code.

You are right. I implemented a workaround for my app by using this source code: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26744842/how-to-use-the-new-sd-card-access-api-presented-for-lollipop

But I don't want to do this for this library. Can you explain us how you modified the code in order to be able to select the sd card folder by simply hiding its content?

You may try this app: https://github.com/Edward-Yung/Mu-Retargeter-1.0 to see if the implemented file chooser is working as expected as you want. If so, you can take a look at the source code and use his modified library. :)

Or take a look at this app: https://github.com/arpitkh96/AmazeFileManager to see how they implemented write-access to external SD-card by using MediaStoreHack
