Android Question Choose folder and access content

[Nickelgrass]

Hello,
I am using the FileDialog to let the user choose a folder either on the SD card or in the internal memory. I set the filepath to file.dierootexternal. That returns the path "/storage/emulated/0" when chosen. Now if I go up one level to "/storage/emulated" then the folder "/0" is not listed and I do not have any way to return to the file.dirrootexternal. Why is this?

Second question is if it is possible to use the contentchooser to select a folder. Using external choosers would give a much nicer and more convenient way to select a folder. The filedialog is a bit basic.

Thanks

Note that you do not have access to that path (File.DirRootExternal) anylonger.

All informations/Restrictions/Possibilities are listed here:

android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

There are several versioned components that affect the compilation process and the runtime behavior of our apps. The purpose of this tutorial is to explain the differences between them and help you choose which version to use. Each Android version is mapped to an api level. You can see this...

Ok thanks. I guess I will simply write my own little directorychooser.
