You can get a list of all the files on your SD card and their absolute paths using:

File file[] = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().listFiles();
file[i].getAbsolutePath();

Hi Prajakti,

I can have list of files those are stored in SD card.

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().listFiles() 

Can you tell me how to delete a folder that is on SD card? I have made a folder using adb shell inside /sdcard. While deleting files from sdcard code omits that folder. Have you ever tried with folder?

Thanks & Regards

Have you tried using delete() method of File class...

If it works with file then it should also work with directory because Directory is File too....

Check the read-Write permissions of the directory through DDMS..........

Hi Prajakti,

Thanks for your reply.

I have read/write permissions on created folder and I am using delete() method only to delete that folder but no success at all. Even in DDMS i am unable to delete that folder after once i created it ADB shell.

Thanks & Regards

Then,ther's only one reason....... You can't delete System Folders........

It's obvious that, if you create a folder with adb shell, you can't delete it through Code.
You can remove it through adb shell only......

and if you at all want to delete the foldre through code only then you must have created the same through code only.......
