Create folder with UI Google Drive Android

Question

I want to be able to choose and/or create a new folder in Google Drive using UI for the user and also save that folder id for later use.

Right now I'm using:

IntentSender intentSender = Drive.DriveApi
            .newOpenFileActivityBuilder()
            .build(mGoogleApiClient);
    try {
        Log.d(TAG, "Startar UI");
        startIntentSenderForResult(
                intentSender, 5, null, 0, 0, 0);
    } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Failed to launch file chooser.");
    }
}

It works but it's not ideal for the purpose. The only other newActivityBuilder I could find was createFile which have the same problems.

Is there any workarounds for making this work?

Use EXTRA_RESPONSE_DRIVE_ID to get the DriveId from the result.( https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/drive/OpenFileActivityBuilder.html#EXTRA_RESPONSE_DRIVE_ID )

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    switch (requestCode) {
      case 5:
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
          DriveId driveId =
              (DriveId) data.getParcelableExtra(OpenFileActivityBuilder.EXTRA_RESPONSE_DRIVE_ID);
        }
        break;
    }
  }
