Question

After having solved every of my previous issues to get the code running for retrieving videos from the sdcard and displaying them in the GridView, I still cannot see the videos. I don’t know what I have done wrong that they won’t show and the array isn’t passed on.

If someone could help me out, please, because I really haven’t got a clue what’s wrong… :(( Thank you…

This is the java file that tries to retrieve and display the videos from the sdcard in the GridView:

package com.mobilevideoeditor.moved;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.GridView;
import android.widget.VideoView;




public class EditGalleryView extends Activity {
    Uri[] vidUris;
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.videogrid);

        GridView vGrid=(GridView) findViewById(R.id.vgrid);
        vGrid.setAdapter(new VideoAdapter(this));

        Uri uri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;

        Log.d("EditGalleryView", "uri:"+uri);
        String[] projection = {
                MediaStore.Video.Media.DESCRIPTION,
                MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA  
    };

        Cursor c = this.managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null,
                MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_ADDED);
                         Log.d("EditGalleryView", "vids available:" +c.getCount());

                         ArrayList<Uri> experimentVids = new ArrayList<Uri>();


                             if (c.getCount() != 0) {
                                 c.moveToFirst();
                                 experimentVids.add(Uri.parse(c.getString(1)));
                                 while (c.moveToNext()) {
                                         experimentVids.add(Uri.parse(c.getString(1)));

                                  }
                      }
                             Log.d("ClassName", "experimentVids.length:" +experimentVids.size());
                                                  if (experimentVids.size() != 0) {
                                                    vidUris = new Uri[experimentVids.size()];

                                              }

Answer 1

Make vidUris a member of the EditGalleryView class. Also I think there is a toArray method on ArrayList that will return an array of elements.
