Activity Action: Allow the user to create a new document. When invoked, the system will display the various DocumentsProvider instances installed on the device, letting the user navigate through them. The returned document may be a newly created document with no content, or it may be an existing document with the requested MIME type.
Each document is represented as a content:// URI backed by a DocumentsProvider, which can be opened as a stream with ContentResolver#openFileDescriptor(Uri, String), or queried for android.provider.DocumentsContract.Document metadata.
Callers must indicate the concrete MIME type of the document being created by setting #setType(String). This MIME type cannot be changed after the document is created.
Callers can provide an initial display name through #EXTRA_TITLE, but the user may change this value before creating the file.
Callers must include #CATEGORY_OPENABLE in the Intent to obtain URIs that can be opened with ContentResolver#openFileDescriptor(Uri, String).
Callers can set a document URI through DocumentsContract#EXTRA_INITIAL_URI to indicate the initial location of documents navigator. System will do its best to launch the navigator in the specified document if it's a folder, or the folder that contains the specified document if not.
Output: The URI of the item that was created. This must be a content:// URI so that any receiver can access it.
