In android, is there an activity show a directory explorer to browse content of sdcard?Like a File explorer in Java, it can show the content of current directory and I can move up to its parent by clicking '..' and move down to a child directory by clicking the name of the child directory?

Google Music stores it's my downloaded MP3 music on the internal phone memory on my Nexus4. I don't want to use any other player, I really like how Google Music gives me the best of both worlds, with regards to having my best stuff locally, and all music in the cloud.
However sometimes I want to copy a particular Mp3 from my phone to my computer. All the files are randomly numbered xxx.mp3, so I can't see which file is what track in MP3 explorer.
Any app that can browse a system directory (on a rooted phone), and show all the Mp3 metadata and allow copying of that file?
On both the emulator and my actual phone (tattoo) I seem unable to browse the SD card - when I run ddms and use the File Explorer, I can browse /data or /system fine, but /sdcard refuses to open, and its permissions appear to be "d---------" (which of course might be the problem).
Similarly when I use ddms's "Put file on device" it fails:
29:43 E/ddms: transfer error: Permission denied Failed to push about.html on SH9CELG00306: Permission denied
The above is for my actual phone but I get a similar error on the emulator (which does have an /sdcard).
Like you would on a pc? I put a file on my SD card from my PC but cant find it.

I read this:

I followed steps 1-3 in the Rooting & Romming for Beginners thread. Everything seemed to go well. I believe I am rooted, and have successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery onto my phone. Was in the process of trying to download a new ROM when I noticed that I kept getting error messages that my download directory didn't exist. Then tried to look into my sdcard directory, and it says "empty."

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created an activity by using a layout written in a XML file. I would like, in response to some events, to change the content of this activity. I would like to show a VideoView over the content. In response to some other event, I may want to go back to the first content. Would it be possible to switch the content of the activity this way without running another activity (I have another technical difficult in doing that)? I tried using setContentView( videoView), and then switching back with setContentView(T.layout.main), but it seems that, when going back to the main layout, all my buttons and text boxes are created again as they were new. Would it be possible to go back to the last state of all the controls?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am getting this exception while I am trying to call an activity from another one.. .The complete exception is android.content.ActivityNotFoundException:Unable to find explicit activity class {com.x.y/com.x.y.class};
I am doing an intent.setClass("com.x.y","com.x.y.className") where className is the name of my activity class and com.x.y is the package it resides in.
My AndroidManifest.xml has the following content:
I have created a TabHost and in 1 of the tab, I have added the content using
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab1")
.setIndicator(getString(R.string.dialerIconLabel),
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_dialer))
.setContent(intent));
Is it possible for me to switch the content's activity programatically after I called 'addTab of TabHost'?
May I know is it possible I use the resource id but I didnt set the Content View in the activity?
For example: abc.xml have one TextView id = "R.id.Text". Can I use the use TextView name = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Text); method in the activity which was setContentView(R.layout.def);?
I'm trying to query the Contacts content provider outside an Activity. But managedQuery is a method of Activity. Is there any other class/method that I can use instead of managedQuery?
Here's my code:........................
I am writing simple app that will read callLog content provider transform data and write it to my own table. my app will not show data directly from calllog content provider.
1. now one problem that I have is I cannot limit how much rows query will return (by calling activity.managedQuery) but I assume that Cursor delays access to the db and I can use moveToNext as many times as desired to get few rows from table and the call will be efficient. is that good thinking?? OR am I wrong here? I really dont want to query all rows from table. is there any other way to access calllog??
2. I dont want to implement my own content provider for my app. I will use rawQuery many times and group data so contentprovider's callbacks are not enough for me. more I want my dao to be private to my application so I think there is no need to bother with conentprovider. and If I got this right I also dont need to bother with activity.startManagingCursor as long I query data inside same method call (because I need to deactivate all intermediate Cursor objects anyway)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am experimenting with using a WebView to display Flash content inside my activity. Everything is working pretty well, but when the user hits the home key to put the activity into the background, the Flash content keeps running (sound keeps playing, etc)
I have noticed that both the stock Android browser and Dolphin Browser seem to avoid this problem, and properly pause the Flash content when the browsing activity is put into the background.
Ideally I would like a solution that kills the WebView completely if the activity is finishing, but pauses it otherwise (basically copying the default behavior of the browser)
Here is a simple test I put together that loads a game on Kongregate which has some background music:
CODE:..............
I took a look at the latest source for the stock browser, and it seems to be doing something similar (calling pauseTimers/resumeTimers), although I fear the code I have been looking at is out of date, because it is calling functions that don't seem to exist anymore.
I did verify that the call to pauseTimers is working by testing with a simple JavaScript setInterval which updates a counter. Is there something else obvious that I should be trying in regard to Window or View management?
The documentation for the mobile Flash player says:
Flash Player will also automatically pause SWF playback it is not in view or the foreground application, for example when a call is received or alarm goes off, to reduce CPU utilization, battery usage and memory usage.
This seems to be working perfectly in both the stock browser and Dolphin Browser, but not in my app. Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Update: Here is the function we ended up adding to our activity to get this to work. We call it with "onPause" in the activity's onPause function and "onResume" in the activity's onResume function:
