i have multiple text files in my sdcard folder and i have build an activity that allows user to select the required file.
but stil,i have to use pass the filepath to file constructor(see line2). textfile.java:
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); //Get the text file File file = new File(sdcard,"my/ans.txt");//line2 //ob.pathh //Read text from file StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder(); try { BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file)); } i want the second parameter ie filepath to be stored as string.
is there any way i can get the complete path of file selected .
The code i had used is as follows:
AndroindApplication .java:
import java.io.File; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import android.app.AlertDialog; import android.app.ListActivity; import android.content.DialogInterface; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.TextView; public class AndroindApplication extends ListActivity { private List<String> item = null; public List<String> path = null; private String root="/"; private TextView myPath; public String pathh; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.sdcard); myPath = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.path); getDir("/sdcard/"); } private void getDir(String dirPath) { myPath.setText("Location: " + dirPath); item = new ArrayList<String>(); path = new ArrayList<String>(); File f = new File(dirPath); File[] files = f.listFiles(); if(!dirPath.equals(root)) { item.add(root); path.add(root); item.add("../"); path.add(f.getParent()); } for(int i=0; i < files.length; i++) { File file = files[i]; path.add(file.getPath()); if(file.isDirectory()) item.add(file.getName() + "/"); else item.add(file.getName()); } ArrayAdapter<String> fileList = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.row, item); setListAdapter(fileList); } @Override protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View view, int position, long id) { File file = new File(path.get(position)); pathh=path.get(position); Log.e("path="+path,"dxgx"); if (file.isDirectory()) { if(file.canRead()) getDir(path.get(position)); else { new AlertDialog.Builder(this) .setIcon(R.drawable.icon) .setTitle("[" + file.getName() + "] folder can't be read!") .setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } }).show(); } } else { Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), textfile.class);//goes to textfile.java startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0); } } } I need to get the absolute path so that i can pass it to
File file = new File(sdcard,"my/ans.txt");//line2 and don't have to specify the filepath in the code whenver a new file has to be opened
Is there anyway i can get it from AndroidApplication.java ?
