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 ?

one is clearly the folder for my actual sdcard (sdcard2) and the other (sdcard) seems to be where all my apps and downloads go. this creates an unreliability being that the phones sdcard folder isnt connected to my removable card and thus making backups useless.

Ok got a dumb question, I saved some stuff and it said it put it in a folder on the sd card. So my question is how do I access the SD card to see the folder.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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;

ImageAdapter adapter = new ImageAdapter (mCursor, this);
Log.i(TAG, "displayGallery(), adapter = " + adapter.getCount());
mGallery.setAdapter(adapter); mGallery.setOnItemClickListener(this);
} }
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();

I'm using Android 4.2.1 on Galaxy note 10.1. I am travelling and photographing and have 64 folders and 6gbs of pics on a 64*gb*sd card. The last two attempts to transfer images from my camera via USB have all failed with various weirdness, like seeing the pics in folder with Gallery app once, only to have the folder completely disappear on next viewing. I have lost over 800 photos like this and I can' t find anything about a folder limit in android but see lots of similar posts with sd card problems. All fine up until I hit that limit, now my whole image recording process while traveling appears to be unreliable. Is it possible the pics are there but not viewable somehow?

Using stock Android 4.1.2 on LG Optimus Pro G. Am I hitting some subfolder limitation or something?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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...

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.
