finding mp3 files on android phone using air

Aug 20, 2012 8:02 PM

I'm trying to display all mp3 files on a phone in a list but I can't seem to figure out how to access the files on the phone.

I'm trying things like:

var file:File = File.desktopDirectory; // I read that this gave me /mnt/sdcard on an android phone

var files:Array = file.getDirectoryListing();

but if I trace the length of files it equals 0.

What do I have to do to find all the files?

Report

use getDirectoryListingAsync(); method and add event listener to the file
file.addEventListener(FileListEvent.DIRECTORY_LISTING,ff);
protected function ff(event:FileListEvent):void
                    {
                    var file:File= event.target as File;
var arr:Array=file.getDirectoryListing();
trace(arr.length);

                    }
