Back in history for File Explorer

In the File Explorer in former post "Start activity using intent of ACTION_VIEW, for specified MIME type", the app will quit whenever you press the BACK key. With the help of Stack and onBackPressed(), function of back in history is added.

When you navigate in the file tree, the current directory will be push onto the top of history stack. Once you press BACK key, the overrided onBackPressed() method check empty of the history stack; if not empty - load the last directory; if empty - pass to super.onBackPressed(), = quit.
