Android Question File DirDefaultExternal

[carloz]

hi all,

Am copying some files from dirassets to dirdefaultexternal . I can see the files in filemanager once copied.
Then, i am trying to show those files in a listbox using following code..

Sub ListFolderContent(folder As String) As String
  Dim fileList As List
  Dim n As Int

  fileList = File.ListFiles(root)
  fileList.Sort(True)

  For n = 0 To fileList.Size-1
        file1 = fileList.Get(n)
      If(file1.Contains(".mp4")) Then
      ListView1.AddSingleLine(file1)
      End If
  Next
End Sub

also tried

Sub ListFiles(dir As String)
Dim list_files As List
Dim lista_folders As List
lista_folders.Initialize
    list_files=File.ListFiles(dir)
    For i= 0 To list_files.Size -1
        If File.IsDirectory(dir, list_files.Get(i))=False Then
            lista_folders.Add(list_files.Get(i))
        End If
    Next
Return lista_folders
End Sub

but in both cases no files are returned in the list...does file.ListFiles not work on dirDefaultExternal ?
if not..what other way to get filelist from that folder?

regards

File.ListFiles works in all folders except of File.DirAssets.

What is the output of Log(File.ListFiles(File.DirDefaultExternal))) ?

erel ..
just tried this.. instead of extracting to dirDefaultExternal , i extracted all files from dirAssets to dirDefaultExternal & "/media/".
And the filelist worked perfectly.. !!!!
