Question

I’ve developed an app that records audio and saves sample on sd card. i’d like to add a bit more functionality for example at the moment it save the sample automatically, whereas i’d like the user to be able to specify a filename and then that sample is saved under that name on the sd card. also when playing a sample i’d like the user to be able to choose a sample from a list generated from the available samples on the sd card. this is my problem, i’m not sure which android components to use to generate a list from the samples on the sd card. can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks

Answer 1

Use a ListView.

With the ListView you will create a list of your SDcard´s media.

ListView Example

UPDATE ::
yes Turtleboy you will save your media files inside a directory
“/sdcard/mymediafiles/”

then extract the file´s name to be displayed in your ListView!

    File sdCardRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    File myDirectory = new File(sdCardRoot, "/mymediafiles/");
    for (File f : myDirectory.listFiles()) {
        if (f.isFile())     
           Log.i("Jorgesys","*** Media File :: " + f.getName());
    }
