[android-beginners] Re: problem wid the sdcard
I have added some text files in my sdcard image using "adb push ".
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? I already
tried this
Intent myIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("file://home/sdcard.img/test.txt"));
But does not work.
Thanks

[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...
Thanks,

[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?

[android-beginners] Re: Files reading
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");
}
});

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
