What I am trying to do is making a file browser for sdcard. and I can see all the folders and files i created in my sdcard img through my application. Now what i want is, I want to view that text files in my application. Can you please tell me how can I do this?

[android-beginners] Re: problem wid the sdcard
I tried "file:///sdcard/test.txt" too but still it does not work... Do we have to set any permissions or something to open a sdcard file through application? I think we should be able to browse the sdcard files through applications.. because in real phone when we insert an sdcard, we are able to open all kind of files like a word file or text file. You said i can browse the android filesystem from DDMS file explorer. I can browse my sdcard folders from my application. I also created some folders and files in sdcard through my application. So what could be reason I am not able to open a file? Can you please help me with this...

[android-beginners] Re: problem wid the sdcard
I am trying to create a file browser for the sdcard. And I have seen this on htc touch phone. In that phone if I click on sdcard it shows all the files in that and if there is some file and I clicked on it, it will open that file. I am trying to create that kind of application. My question was, if I can browse through sdcard and I know that the file is "...txt" then why can't I open it like all other files?

Hi Mark, thanks a lot for your reply. now I am able to open and view the txt file using some other file operations.. May be I will make different activity to read the txt file from sdcard.

you can try this FileContains = new File(PathName); File[] Filenames = FileContains.listFiles( new FilenameFilter() { public boolean accept(File FileContains, String name) { return name.endsWith(".mp3") || name.endsWith(".MP3"); } }); Payal Hi mark, thanks, but i am trying that java.io.file but its giving whatever files in the SDcard whether it could be .txt etc. but i need only mp3 files list so if u have any idea than let ne know.. my code is loke this private File FileContains; FileContains = new File(PathName); if(FileContains.isDirectory()){ Filenames = FileContains.listFiles(); NoOfFiles = Array.getLength(Filenames); } so from the above code it will give all the files list but i need only mp3 files so if u have any idea then let me know Thanks Rakesh > > > On Sep 10, 5:20 pm, Mark Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > patelpower wrote: > > > Hello everyone, > > > > > i want to read the mp3 files only from the sdcard so is there any API > > > so it could read only mp3 files and give the list of the files indise > > > the SDcard > > > > Look in the java.io package.
