I am creating a directory in internal memory of device for storing files for application use.I am using:
File dir = context.getDir(userfavorites, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
The above code will create a new directory if it does not exists or returns me the existing file object if directory has already been created.What I want to check is the number and name of files this directory contains.How do I use this file object to accomplish this task.
NOTE:I don't want to use external memory of device.And I can't avoid creating directory as well because the files in directory has to be separated from other files that are not in directory.
UPDATED CODE:
private static boolean IsFoldercontainsFiles(Context context) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
File dir = context.getDir(USER_FAV, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
if (dir.exists()) {
if (dir.listFiles() == null){
return false;} //it never execute this line even though its null
else{
File childfile[] = dir.listFiles();
Log.i("file no is ", Integer.toString(childfile.length));
if (childfile.length == 0) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
} else {
return false;
}
}
Thanks in advance
