I have a created a android program to read videos from any specific folder of sdcard and then display their thumbnails in Grid View.
However my program is working correctly for Movies folder in sdcard only.
Its not showing any videos for other folders in sdcard.
I have specified the name of the folder “Movies” at two places in my code.
Once in AdapterView.OnItemClickListener and another in initVideosId().
Now there is other folders also in my sdcard, say sdcard->geovideo
Now when I am specifying “geovideo” instead of “Movies” then it is showing nothing in my tablet. Do you have any idea what is the problem.
Anyone please help me to do my task.
Thanks.
Below is my android program

Actually problem was the user permission in my manifest file.
I hope any one who face the same problem as mine,
will be happy to see my answser.
Actually, Movies folder was in built folder in sdcard
and as I mentioned that I have my own folder ‘geovideo’ in sdcard
Which I was not able to see via my program.
So I need to specify the permission in Manifest file.
When I added
to my manifest.
It’s working.
So just simple advice,
When your program is not working think about permission as well.
