B4A Library [Class] File Explorer with visualization

Hi,

I created this class because I was frustrated by the File Dialog in the (great) Dialogs lib. With that class, you can customize everything (since you have the source code) and add new functions like rename, delete, create folder, etc.
Currently, the class can visualize picture and text files (or not if you set the option to false) when you select them.
You can make multiple selections.

If your activity contains a TabHost, loot at post #7.

Add this permission to the manifest for Android v4+:
AddPermission(android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)


Since September 1st 2014, this class is completely free.

Enjoy,
Fred

Hi,

I just tried to display the /data directory and I'm being denied. I'm using SuperSU, and I added code to your program to
give it SU permission, but it still doesn't work. Is there some thing special I need to do?

Thanks

I never tried. Maybe you have to change the permissions on this folder to read it. Or maybe the API function does not allow to read the contents so you have to do a "ll" and parse the result. Try to find some help in the xda-dev forum. It's the right place for this kind of question.

Hi Informatix

Is there a way to make the edittext accept a specific pattern (e.g. *.bmp), to make sure the name is correct for saving a file

Kind regards
Jakob

The class does not include anything to check the extension, but you can easily add a test when the OK button is clicked. And much better: you could replace the EditText by a MaskedEditText, so you can filter what's typed when it is typed, or use a mask.

Hello! I'm using fileexplorer-class 1.3 in my code, but it seems, that it is not possible to change the screenorientation when the explorer is open. I know, that it is always a problem with modal-dialogs, but it there a way to handle it?

Thanks for help...

I think that you are in the same case as above. Read post 50 and 51.
