I know this has been discussed so many times but really I am not able to figure it out. I am so sorry for asking it again. I am making android file manager. I am showing the files and folders in a listview. I want to add functionality to "back" key. Currently pressing back key at any time results in exit from the app. I want it to go to the previous folder if any or otherwise exit the app. I was trying onBackPressed()
method but couldn't figure out what should be written there. Please help me.
Here is my MainActivity.java file :
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
private ArrayList<String> item = null;
private ArrayList<String> path = null;
private String root="/";
private TextView myPath;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); /**super keyword in java is a reference variable that
is used to refer immediate parent class object. */
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myPath = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.path); /* storing the current path*/
getDir(root);
}
private void getDir(String dirPath)
{
myPath.setText("Location: " + dirPath);
item = new ArrayList<String>();
path = new ArrayList<String>();
File f = new File(dirPath);
File[] files = f.listFiles(); /** files is an array of all the files in a directory. */
if(!dirPath.equals(root))
{
item.add(root);
path.add(root);
item.add("../");
path.add(f.getParent());
}
for(int i=0; i < files.length; i++)
{
File file = files[i];
path.add(file.getPath());
if(file.isDirectory())
item.add(file.getName() + "/");
else
item.add(file.getName());
}
ArrayAdapter<String> fileList = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.row, item);
setListAdapter(fileList);
}
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
File file = new File(path.get(position));
if (file.isDirectory())
{
if(file.canRead())
getDir(path.get(position));
else
{
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setTitle("[" + file.getName() + "] folder can't be read!")
.setPositiveButton("OK",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}).show();
}
}
else
{
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setTitle("[" + file.getName() + "]")
.setPositiveButton("OK",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}).show();
}
}
