View 1 RepliesHow to load simple html file present in sd mmc card from web browser. It is mentioned in the net that due to security reasons this is not allowed. Is there any way to access the file from sdcard? Tried modifying private String homeUrl =
"file:///sdcard/index.html";
in BrowserSettings.java file but browser throws an error "could not be loaded".
I am using the ES File Explorer on my HTC One M8, but it doesn't allow me to copy pictures on my SD card. Root Explorer also not. Is it because of Kitkat? Are there any other file browsers that allow copying stuff to the SD card?

I googled enough before joining this forum and not at one place did I find a suitable solution. I would like to know how to launch the file browser when user clicks on the "Browse" button to upload a file.

-sdcard /usr/android/sdcard/mysdcard.iso -audio oss [i]
The following is my code to play file.
try { mMediaPlayer.setDataSource("/sdcard/test_cbr.mp3"); mMediaPlayer.prepare(); // Giving error. mMediaPlayer.start(); }
How come this is the only file manager on the market (that I've found... I went through quite a few) that can open an HTML file from your SD card? I was a loyal user of Estrogen until I found that it couldn't.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLike the title implies, I'm looking for an app that will browse cifs/smbfs shares on any given WiFi network you connect to. I want to be able to move word documents and the like from the sdcard to network shares, or vice versa, so that I don't need to carry a USB cable with me wherever I go.
Also I'd also like to know if there's an app that would install a server on the phone to enable other PC's on the network to connect to my phone via CIFS/SMBFS so I can browse/modify the files directly on it without having to copy it to the computer first.
I have a swf file on the sdcard and I wrote a html file flash.html with the swf file embeded. The only way to open it now is:
1) open the browser
2) type in file:///sdcard/flash.html The swf runs fine.
But if use the code list below:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/flash.html");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent); It shows the error: The application has stopped unexpectly.
I also tried the following code using:
WebView: WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.list_web);
browser.loadUrl("file:///sdcard/flash.html");
The Webview showed up, but the area should start the swf is empty. So is there a way to open the html through code? I also think if there is a way to open the android browser using ACTION_VIEW by a simple html then reset the URL to be "file:///sdcard/ flash.html" through code?
I would like to make a file browser that will do two things:
1) Allow the user to browse and select a directory
2) Allow the user to browse all files on their sdcard
I've looked for tutorials but can't seem to find any? how what my code would need to do in order to have a simple file browser or providing me with a link to a tutorial/source code?
I want to integrate a file browser with my application. Does anyone know where I could get the source code for a pretty good file browser? (With the developer's permission of course). The more, the better...
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn Android, I am trying to make it so that the user downloads a font from the browser and I am able to view the font when downloaded. After multiple issues, I still have one lingering one: Registering the file type with the browser. When trying to download with the Emulator (2.1-u1), I get "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". Okay, so maybe its my manifest file. Updated with this:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="MainActivity">
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
<catagory android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<data android:scheme="http"/> <data android:scheme="https"/>
<data android:scheme="ftp"/> <data android:host="*"/>
<data android:mimeType="*/*"/> <data android:pathPattern=".*zip"/>
</intent-filter> </activity>
Went back to the browser, and fails again. Restart the Emulator, still fails. Note that I got this format from posts here.
Did you ever have music files without tags ? (for example ripped from your CDs)Did you ever add some music in a "new music" folder in your memory card, without knowing exactly all the artist / albums?Do you know the "unknown artist" who sings the "Track 01", even if your file name is correct?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy open source application needs to browse local HTML files on the SD card, and WebView is not enough because I need history and bookmarks. I wrote the following code. It correctly opens the browser, but fails to reach catalog.html and in fact it just opens whatever page was last browsed:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/ myapp/catalog.html");
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setData(uri); intent.setClassName("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"); startActivity(intent);
I am using APP Inventor, but it put my question as general from Android. How can i directly download a file from WEB without the browser try to open it.
I i put a url like: privatesite.blablabla/image.jpg
He will put the image in the browser, because browser can load the file and show it on screen, but i want to download it without reading it.
I need that to put inside App inventor, but if it's possible to do it in HTML or other, that's ok, i think i can make app inventor run an external application.
Instead of launching a UI I was wondering if I could have a process monitor the execution of a javascript in the emulator's browser and read in the output data. Is it possible to execute a local javascript file using the phone's browser?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have the default home page for the app, and let's say for example I start to type facebook. Under where I type it comes up with the usual predictions, like facebook login, facebook news, etc. But the top one is usually a link to the exact URL (in this case to facebook) but whenever I click one of those links, I get a page that says:
"Server Error
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
Is there anyway to get these links to work? Or get rid of them all together so I don't accidentally click them.
"Unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions."
This is the message I get when I try to take pictures. I have only taken 9 shots so far. There was no problem until yesterday when i tried to take the tenth. Did I do something to cause this? I am not that tech smart

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to set up a tablet to connect to Windows shares on the companies domain - all legitimate. I have been asked to look at their use within the company.
It's a standard Server 2008 based domain.
The main problem I am having is that the wireless is a different subnet to the main network.
The file browsers I have tried so far are not apparently capable of routing over subnets - due to smb (which the browsers use) not being a routable protocol so I am told.
The question is are there any Android apps that uses IP Routing to find shares rather than SMB.
I hope the above makes sense. I am going off what I have been told. I can connect to shares on the wireless subnet itself so this seems to all make sense to me.
Are there any such apps?
Is there any way to get the file name of the SD Card used by the emulator (like SDCard1.iso).

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet.And to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!Here's what you need to do:
1. Put the apk file in the main directory of your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".
2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".
3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk". (Without the double quotes of course).In our example above it should look like this: file:///sdcard/fm.apk
4. Press "Go". That's it! Installation started!
I'm trying to write a file from an Http post reply to a file on the sdcard. Everything works fine until the byte array of data is retrieved. I've tried setting WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the manifest and tried many different combinations of tutorials I found on the net. How my app writes file is by using a thread. Specifically, a thread is invoked from another thread when a file has to be written, so giving an activity object didn't work even though I tried it. The app has come a long way and I cannot change how the app is currently written. CODE:..................

Should I create a specific folder in my project to save to and if so how do I save the file. Or should I make it to where when you click the Save button it checks for an SD card and if there is and SD card create a folder (if one isn't already there) and save the file in the new folder or save it to the phone? If someone could explain the most efficient way of saving files for my app and how to save the file from the web server I would greatly appreciate the insight. Any tutorial links would be awesome.
