View 7 RepliesI'm happy reading and writing to a pre-set file, and could manually populate a listview, but I'm hoping there is an official(or not) filebrowser I missed, or other more elegant solution to present the user with a directory listing, and let them select a file.

How can I get all the mp3 files from the card (in any directory) into my 'songs' list?
I wrote an app that downloads web sites and all their assets (images/stylesheets) to "disk" and therefore stores lots of small files on the SD card.
Sometimes it fails to delete large amounts of files and afterward the file system is r/o. To analyze that behavior I tried to do the removal of the files by hand and then go from there. But that already failed.

The log contained nothing but the usual gc output and random WiFi status changed mumbo jumbo.
Anybody else seeing this behavior?
There were 6.500 files in that directory. Might that be the problem? I don't access the files with queries, I always have the exact name.
My Sandisc 64GB SD card went kaputt last week, it froze at 33GB, luckily the existing files are all ok and I was able to copy all the files onto my PC, however nothing new can be written to it. I've tried formatting with no success. So I copied the files onto the PC and just got a new this time Samsung 64GB micro SD card. Problem I'm having now is that on several attempts it's failed to copy the files back to my SD card (from PC) I've formatted the card in the Note 3..the music files about 4 GB transferred just fine, the problem seems to be with the Pix and Videos. I'm currently trying to copy the DCIM folder back onto the micro sd and it's saying it'll take 6 hours.
I have tried: copying from PC to micro SD in the phone via USB copying from PC to micro SD in SD card adapter plugged directly into PC
copying from PC to micro SD in USB adapter plugged into PC
all results the same
I am new to android. I need to list available files in device or SDCard in the android emulator 1.5.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to create a very simple android activity that takes a file path on the sd card and displays the contents of that directory in a listview.
I know how to get a list of the files via File.listFiles() which returns an Array of File objects. What I want to know is how I can adapt that array to a ListView. Would an ArrayAdapter be the right thing to use and how would I do that?
Can any one tell me which is the best way to access the file system in android device, also i want to list all the files in the application directory.

I have been playing around with a LazyList code sample which is pretty neat for displaying images in a safe and non-memory-hogging way. It uses a very simple mechanism of displaying images based on a list that exists within the class file.
Example:
CODE:...........
I am trying to load these values from an index file that is downloaded to the SD card, and then loaded from it. Here is the code that loads the index file and simply displays it as a Toast message (this works fine).
PULL FILE FROM SD CARD

What I am struggling with is how to take this string that is being loaded from the SD card and pass it into the list adapter.
The code presently looks like this:
CODE:................
I am trying to reload or refresh that same adapter using the values I pulled from the SD card file, presently called "readString".
Can anyone give me some pointers? I am leaving out the code that I created that doesn't work ... because I don't think I am handling this at all correctly. Also - go easy on my, I am a complete newbie to all of this. :-)
Here is my what I am trying to do. Simply copy and paste the working code where I want it. I know it's not that simple, but I am having a hard time reconstructing it properly. Here is my edited code ...

I'm trying to unzip an apk using the device shell. I need to see the package name of the app contained in the apk. I tried using unzip -l but I just get output that says "zip flags 1 and 8 not supported". How can I unzip an apk? For that matter, am I using the right tool for this job? I just want to view the manifest of the apk, really. I have busybox.

The problem is that if the user has the sdcard mounted via the USB cable, I can't read the list of images on the disk. Does anyone know of a way to tell if the usb is mounted so that I could just pop up a message informing the user that it won't work?

Usual when I make a phone call, I put this with some remarks in my database. But when I am underway only with my Android, the best possibility would be to have the phone call list exported from the phone to update my database at last with time and duration of calls to perons in my database
So the most important question to orgaise now is: How to export the call list to the SD-card
BTW is there also a navigation link syntax? Maybe something like <a href="nav:A-5082 Gartenau Drachenlochstrasse 1c/5>My home address</a> And when I click on the Link, the navigation software opens with the clicked address as target.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I start the ADB shell from the Windows command line, and type the command "ls", the list of files I get is not sorted by name. Also, if I enter "ls -r" which should reverse sort, I get the error message "no such file". If I type "busybox ls -l", I get the expected sorted list. Also, other commands like "busybox ls -la" work.
My Phone is a Samsung Captivate i897, rooted from Gingerbread with Corn Kernel v7.06 with Superuser and BusyBox installed.

I think we really need a file manager for the g1 so that we have a single app to access all the file on the internal or sd memory instead of going to each appropriate program for the files wanting access to.Secondly, what are the requirement for files on the sd card? Do they all have to be jumbled together in the root directory or can the be organized into folders and still be found by the programs?

Where can I find a list of files that can, or shouldn't be, deleted w/ titanium backup?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've searched all over the forums and can't find anyone else who is having this problem. I am able to set my captivate to "media player" under the USB settings and Windows Media Player is able to see it. I move files into the sync list and start to sync. It all works perfectly until, for whatever reason with no consistency, WMP freezes. I've concluded it's because the Captivate stops responding but I can't find a solution. The music files are not a problem since they are already condensed in mp3 format. But I need a solution for syncing pictures. Double Twist ignores the original folders and lumps every picture into one folder called "Images", so that's pointless.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI havent been able to find the zip or rar files my phone downloads (or at least I think it has downloaded) through the Browser app.
THe very first time I tried this it worked fine. i downloaded a zip file from filestube and it immediately showed up in the notification bar that it was downloading. When it was done i clicked the notification and i unzipped it with androzip or something like that. Worked like a charm...
But now i have tried many times, and i never get any confirmation that any download has begun in the notification bar or anything. The only thing that leads me to believe that some download is actually taking place is that, for instance, if iam downloading from megaupload, if i click the download button 2x it will take me to window saying that "this i.p address is already downloading a file".
But i cant find any evidence of this on the phone? I have looked through all the folders on the sd card, but no luck.
Can we assume that App can write to /sdcard some file? What can be reason one cannot do that? I could not find any documentation on sdcard rules in google docs.

However, it keeps failing on the line k.createNewFile(); with the error: WARN/System.err(10727): java.io.IOException: Parent of file is not a directory: /sdcard/twitcast/1.jpg
I've checked and I have write permission and the SD card is mounted, and I have android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS included in my manifest. why this keeps failing?
Anyone know an app like " Idisk" from iphone. The app only open a port and ip to transfer files from and to the SD CARD to PC.. Anyone know if there are a application for this?
