Android :: Allow User To Select Folder On SD Card
I'm looking for a way to allow a user to press a button to browse the contents of the SD card, and then select a folder, whose path will be returned to the application. Similar to how you pull up the "Browse..." dialog on Windows for installations.

Android :: Select Folder And Work Out When Intent Complete?
I am making a wallpaper and I want the user to select a folder. So I have a button in the preferences that launches an intent to open an image, but what I want is actually just a directory (I guess in the worst case I can strip the filename from the end). So thats my first problem. The second problem is how do I get notified of when the intent is complete? public class FilePreference extends DialogPreference implements View.OnClickListener { public void onClick(View v) { // open up a gallery/file browser Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("image/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Folder")); }

Media :: Select Music Albums By Folder
I have a bunch of individual folders that I'd like to select, so I can add them to a playlist. Problem is, a lot of these folders contain Various Artist compilations, so I don't want to have to select each artist to program into a playlist. If I could add the folders in question, that would be so much simpler.

Android :: Select Android Applications Sharing Data Without User Notification
Come one, come all -- let's gather and act shocked, shall we? It's no secret that Google's Android Market is far easier to penetrate than Apple's App Store, which is most definitely a double-edged sword. On one hand, you aren't stuck waiting a lifetime for Apple to approve a perfectly sound app; on the other, you may end up accidentally downloading some Nazi themes that scar you for life. A curious team of scientists from Intel Labs, Penn State and Duke University recently utilized a so-called TaintDroid extension in order to log and monitor the actions of 30 Android apps -- 30 that were picked from the 358 most popular. Their findings? That half of their sample (15, if you're rusty in the math department) shared location information and / or other unique identifiers (IMEI numbers, phone numbers, SIM numbers, etc.) with advertisers. Making matters worse, those 15 didn't actually inform end-users that data was being shared, and some of 'em beamed out information while applications were dormant. Unfortunately for us all, the researchers didn't bother to rat out the 15 evil apps mentioned here, so good luck resting easy knowing that your library of popular apps could be spying on you right now. Update: A Google spokesperson pinged up with an official response to the study, and you can peek it after the break.Update 2: Looks as if the full study (PDF) has been outed, with the 30 total apps named. Here they are: The Weather Channel, Cestos, Solitaire, Movies, Babble, Manga Browser, Bump, Wertago, Antivirus, ABC - Animals, Traffic Jam, Hearts, Blackjack, Horoscope, 3001 Wisdom Quotes Lite, Yellow Pages, Dastelefonbuch, Astrid, BBC News Live Stream, Ringtones, Layer, Knocking, Barcode Scanner, Coupons, Trapster, Spongebob Slide, ProBasketBall, MySpace, ixMAT, and Evernote.

Android :: Sd Card & Folder Privacy?
Firstly, when I get my larger (32gb) micro sd card, would I be right in saying that it's just a case of copying everything from my existing card onto my PC, and then from my PC back onto the larger card? And the other thing, is there a setting on the Galaxy GT-i15700, or one I can download for it, that wil allow me to 'password protect' a folder that I create ?

Android :: Creating Folder On Emulated Sd Card
I'm currently only testing things in an emulator due to not having an Android device as of yet. I'm honestly holding out for some of the new 1 Ghz machines to come out and do some comparisons. Anyway, I would imagine one would easily be able to make whatever folders they choose on an sd card, but on the emulated one, I can only seem to push entire folder contents or single files to the root. The adb help doesn't appear to have a command to make a folder. Is this not possible, or am I just missing something?

Android :: Display Images From Particular Folder In SD Card
I want to write code to display the images only from a particular folder in sd card. e.g a folder named b'day(/sdcard/pictures/b'day). I have the following code, but it displays all the images in the sd card. What should I add/change in the following code to accomplish my objective. private void displayGallery() { Uri uri = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns._ID, // The columns we want MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.IMAGE_ID, MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.KIND }; String selection = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.KIND + "=" + // Select only mini's MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND; mCursor = this.managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, null, null); if (mCursor != null) { mCursor.moveToFirst(); ImageAdapter adapter = new ImageAdapter (mCursor, this); Log.i(TAG, "displayGallery(), adapter = " + adapter.getCount()); mGallery.setAdapter(adapter); mGallery.setOnItemClickListener(this); } }

Android :: Any Way To Put Entire Folder From Assets To SD Card?
What I am trying to do is simply copy over entire folder full of mp3 files onto sdcard within an app. I am doing this out of "assets" folder because raw folder does not allow mp3 files to be named the way I need them to. Here is what I dug up so far but not sure if this will work. I am lost. InputStream ins = getResources().getAssets().open(""); int size = ins.available(); // Read the entire resource into a local byte buffer. byte[] buffer = new byte[size]; ins.read(buffer); ins.close(); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/myfolder/"); fos.write(buffer); fos.close();

HTC Droid Eris :: SD Card Folder
I'm just now getting around to trying to add some custom notification sounds, and ring tones I've made myself.Problem is there are no set folders on my SD card for ring tones, notifications or photos like I've had on other phones in the past.So, can someone tell me what folders I should make to put things in their appropriate place and have them actually show up on the phone?I tried just dragging and dropping a few small mp3 files I want to use as notification sounds directly onto the SD card but that didn't work. I'm at a loss for what folders to add and name.

HTC Desire :: Cannot Find Sms Messages On Sd Card / Know That Folder?
I just got my desire back from repair. I thought everything would be backed up, and that I could just load my backup file once the phone was started for the first time. But apparently, this is not the case... HTC has stopped the support for this backup from Android 2.1 to 2.2 they told me in their phone support.... They advised me to download a file manager, and locate e.g my sms messages, and recreate them from there. However, I have not been able to find that folder? I can se lots of other old data, so the sd card has not been formatted...

Android :: Browse To Folder On Phone / SD Card For View Photos Inside?
Is there an application that will allow you to browse to a folder on your phone/SD care and view the photos inside? If it were on a linux PC I would be installing GThumb, on windows ACDSEE. I have tried Photo Burst. It crashes and I had to reset the phone. I have tried Picture Viewer but the latest version does not pan at all. The only way to do something like this with the stock viewer is to have all your photos in the root of the sdcard in folders or within download. Not really the neatest way of doing this.

2.1 Update :: Can't Find User Guide On The SD Card
I didn't bother backing up my applications, as I had quite a few installed that I didn't need to keep. I made a simple list on paper, and reinstalled everything afterwards. One irritation is the the User Guide application now says that it can't find the User Guide on the SD card, and offers the online version. Does anyone know if the 2.1 version of the onboard User Guide can be downloaded, what it should be named, and what folder it should be in? Or could someone even e-mail it to me, with instructions as to where it should be put?

Motorola Droid :: Way To Create An Icon Link To SD Card Folder?
Is there anyway to create a icon on my Droid desktop pointing to a specific folder on my SD Card. I have a folder where I store all my movie videos that I would like quick access. The Gallery is much too slow having to search all my pictures and videos on my entire 16GB SD Card to populate and it doesn't even display the video name (its difficult to identify movies by the small thumbnail it displays). The best way to launch these currently I find is to traverse the directory tree using an explorer app, but I prefer a quicker method if possible.

HTC Droid Eris :: Put Files In A Secure / Passwored Folder On SD Card?
I'm sure I'm not the only one with naughty pics of my girl friend or other girls on my phone that I don't want the girl friend, other girls, or friends and people in general to see... Is there a way to put these files in a secure/passwored folder on the SD card that the "Albums" or any other video/pic app can't access? Besides keeping my phone locked, I don't want someone accidently flicking through the photo album and stumble upon these. Also I noticed even switching the Wallpaper shows all the pics on the phone. I have an idea of an app called "Stash" where you can move any files (maybe even contacts/texts) to a particular place on the SD card that the phone can not find.

Android :: Implement Select All With Multiple Select ListView In Android
I'm trying to implement a Select All menu item for a ListView in a ListViewActivity. The relevant parts of my ListViewActivity: public class MyListViewActivity extends ListActivity browsed around stackoverflow.com and the google; the above is something that should work. But it isn't. setSelection(i) appears to be the method I want to call on ListView but it's not working as advertised. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible on Android in code?

Android :: How To Play Videos In Android From Assets Folder Or Raw Folder?
I am trying to play a video in android emulator I have the video in my assets folder as well as the raw folder.But after doing some research still i cant play video in my emulator.i am working on android 2.1 My video format is mp4 so i don't think that should be a problem.Could anyone just give me an example code so that i can understand a bit more?The problem is that the VideoView that I need to display the Video will take only a URI or a File path to point to the Video.If I save the video in the raw or assets folder I can only get an input stream or a file descriptor and it seems nothing of that can be used to initialize the VideoView.

I have a TextView which is inside a LinearLayout which is in the child position of an ExpandableListView. Without assigning a color state selector to the text view, the following behavior is observed:Text unselected - text paints as white Text selected - text paints as black.If I add a color state selector with a call to text.setTextColor(R.color.textcolorstatelist) then the following behavior is observed:Text unselected - text paints as black Text selected - text paints as black.I tried two versions of textcolorstatelist.xml and both produced the results above.
