Answer 1

path = uri.getPath(); only this line is used for get the path of selected file.

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); 
            intent.setType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); 
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
            try {
                startActivityForResult(
                        Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a File to Upload"),
                        FILE_SELECT_CODE);
            } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
                // Potentially direct the user to the Market with a Dialog
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please install a File Manager.", 
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub   
    switch (requestCode) {
    case FILE_SELECT_CODE:
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        // Get the Uri of the selected file 
        Uri uri = data.getData();       
        // Get the path
        try {   
                path = uri.getPath();                                       
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    break;
}
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

Answer 2

use my FileSelector :

how to use :

 new FileSelector(this, new String[]{FileSelector.XLS, FileSelector.XLSX}).selectFile(new FileSelector.OnSelectListener() {
      @Override
      public void onSelect(String path) {
        G.toast(path);
      }
    });


 new FileSelector(this, new String[]{".jpg", ".jpeg"}).selectFile(new FileSelector.OnSelectListener() {
      @Override
      public void onSelect(String path) {
        G.toast(path);
      }
    });

source code : (create class 'FileSelector' and copy/paste)
