List all the files from all the folder in a single list
AndroidAndroid FileAndroid Problem Overview
Hi I am looking for the solution to list all the files from root/Android device.
Suppose there are 3 folder inside root directory,but I want to display all the files in all of these folder in a single list..
Now If am using
File f=new File("/sdcard");
Then it will list all the files from the sdcard folder only..and If I will use
File f=new File("/download");
Then it will list all the files from download folder only ..and if I will use
File f=new File("/");
Then it will list only root direcoty files...not the files inside /sdcard or /download..
So what steps shall I follow to list all the files with a filter to list only .csv files from all the folder inside root.
Thanks..

Solution 1 - Android
Try this:
.....
List<File> files = getListFiles(new File("YOUR ROOT"));
....
private List<File> getListFiles(File parentDir) {
ArrayList<File> inFiles = new ArrayList<File>();
File[] files = parentDir.listFiles();
for (File file : files) {
if (file.isDirectory()) {
inFiles.addAll(getListFiles(file));
} else {
if(file.getName().endsWith(".csv")){
inFiles.add(file);
}
}
}
return inFiles;
}
or variant without recursion:
private List<File> getListFiles2(File parentDir) {
List<File> inFiles = new ArrayList<>();
Queue<File> files = new LinkedList<>();
files.addAll(Arrays.asList(parentDir.listFiles()));
while (!files.isEmpty()) {
File file = files.remove();
if (file.isDirectory()) {
files.addAll(Arrays.asList(file.listFiles()));
} else if (file.getName().endsWith(".csv")) {
inFiles.add(file);
}
}
return inFiles;
}

I've modified Vyacheslav's solution because I needed only file names inside the directory. Maybe it'll be helpfull for someone.
...
List<String> files = getList(new File("YOUR ROOT"));
...
private List<String> getList(File parentDir, String pathToParentDir) {
ArrayList<String> inFiles = new ArrayList<String>();
String[] fileNames = parentDir.list();
for (String fileName : fileNames) {
if (fileName.toLowerCase().endsWith(".txt") || fileName.toLowerCase().endsWith(".rtf") || fileName.toLowerCase().endsWith(".txd")) {
inFiles.add(pathToParentDir + fileName);
} else {
File file = new File(parentDir.getPath() + "/" + fileName);
if (file.isDirectory()) {
inFiles.addAll(getList(file, pathToParentDir + fileName + "/"));
}
}
}
return inFiles;
}

You can use following method,
private int readLogList( String filePath )
{
File directory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File folder = new File( directory + ConstantCodes.FILE_SEPARATOR + filePath );
if ( !folder.exists() )
{
return 0;
}
return folder.list().length;
}
