Android :: Can App Access Files On Removable Media?

Oct 27, 2009

From what I've been able to find, Android apps are sandboxed, and can only list, read, and write files within the application's data directory (e.g. /data/data/<pkgname>). but, what about an application that allows users to view photos on an SD card (or play music, etc)? Surely this must be possible. Does one have to write a Service Provider for this?

Android :: Access Larger Files - More Than 1 Mb Plist Files - From Assets Folder

Nov 4, 2010

I am working on an android app. Where i need to parse some plist files from assets folder. I do understand how to use assets in android but now problem is that file sizes are more than 1MB and so android gives error Data Exceeds UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX (2183588 vs 1048576). how to access such larger files from assets? Also I cant reduce a file into small buffers because i am just sending it to "DocumentBuilder.parse(in)" as a whole so can not use buffer. The error is on line: Document doc = db.parse(in).

Media :: Music Player Can't Find All Files / Need Doesn't Use Native Index Of Files?

Apr 4, 2010

I have a Samsung Galaxy I7500 using android 1.5. I extended my phone with a 16GB microSD. I copied a big music collection (around 800 files) into a folder on this SD. Now the problem is that the music player can't find all the files.

I know that there are several threads about android not finding music. The answers are usually that the library hasn't yet been updated or that the ID3 tags are not correct.
I have checked both.

Btw. I can play the files using ASTRO.

In my opinion it seems as if android can't build up a library with too many entries. If I rename the files or put them into different folders, songs disappear and reappear quite randomly.

Do you have any solutions? Is there a music player which doesn't use the native music players index of files?

Android :: How To Access Other Package's Private Files?

May 24, 2009

I'm trying to find a way to access private files created by other packages.According to the dev site (plz see the following), I can read/write files of other packages if some flags are set on the create of those files, but I don't know how. Can I just open those files with Context.openFileInput(or Context.openFileOutput)? Do I need a different way for those three cases? By three cases, I mean getSharedPreferences(String, int), openFileOutput(String, int), openOrCreateDatabase(String, int, SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory).

Android :: Want To Access Random Files Moved To N1

Feb 11, 2010

So I just got my Nexus One (like literally a few hours ago) and yay everything is nice (well not everything - for some reason I can't download apps from the market). Anyways, I figure, let's see how this thing is for reading pdfs.

I mounted it as a drive via usb. Created a docs directory, and place a pdf book in it.

Ok...Now how do I open that file?

Again we're talking Nexus One

Kernel 2.6.29-01117
Build ERE27 (who the hell has letters in their build names!?)

Android :: Access Files That Works Both On Droid And PC?

May 11, 2010

I'm writing an application that will ship in two versions: Android and PC version.

Is there a simple way to access files from the shared code?

Using Java.io is simple, but I don't know how to access android resources or assets using it. And I can't write methods that operate on FileInputStreams instead, because some files contain references to another ones, so I need a way to access them from the method code. Any suggestions?

Android :: Application With Tons Of Media Files

Sep 6, 2010

What will be the best storage choice for an application with huge amount of mb in media? The application will not be in android market.

First choice was to use assets/ folder. At least, 160MB of audio is shipped with the application. When I moved all the media to the assets/ folder, I end up with:

"Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null"

And reading: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2328 suggest me that maybe it's not such a good idea to ship all the media in an .apk file. I think that the problem has nothing to do with large .java files, as it arises when I copy the bunch of audio to assets/.

I was thinking in using the sd card storage. But, I don't want the user to accidentally remove the media files. I want it to be private, not accesible to possible deletions. So, another approach is to use the private storage and download the media in the application first run, or something like that.

Android :: Playing (M3U Files) With Media Player

Jan 8, 2010

I'm trying to play a playlist I get using the MediaStore provider. However, when I try playing a playlist nothing happens. Can a MediaPlayer play a playlist (m3u file) and do I need to set the first track to play? This is my test code in the onCreate() method:

Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
if(uri == null) { Log.e("Uri = null");
} String[] projection = new String[] { MediaStore.Audio.Playlists._ID,
MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.NAME, MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.DATA };
Cursor c = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(c == null) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
R.string.alarm_tone_picker_error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return; } if(!c.moveToFirst()) { c.close();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.alarm_tone_picker_no_music,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); return; } c.moveToFirst(); try {
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(); player.setDataSource(c.getString(2));
player.start(); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
I have turned on every volume stream.

Android :: Many Image Files In Res / Drawable - Access In Droid?

Feb 11, 2010

I have to make a dedicated image viewer app for Android 2.x.

There are too many jpeg image files: about 2000~ jpegs, over 100MB.

I want access the image files with their file names,
but I couldn't find such an example.

By the way, is it okay to put many image files in /res/drawable folder?

I heard that the android application cannot be installed on sdcard and

the program repository is very small so 100MB app cannot be installed generally.

I found some examples which download the large data files on sdcard online,

but I cannot run a web server to host the data files,

and I must upload the fully packaged program on Android Market. (Should I build one apk file?)

What are the best practices for managing too many resource images (or something) in Android?
