Android Directory Picker Documentation

Integrating with an Android project in Eclipse

First, import the Directory Picker project into your workspace. Then, set up your app to reference the library as described in the Android documentation.

In the AndroidManifest.xml of your project, add an entry for the new Activity:
<activity android:name="net.bgreco.DirectoryPicker" />

Usage in an app

To launch a directory picker:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, DirectoryPicker.class);
// optionally set options here
startActivityForResult(intent, DirectoryPicker.PICK_DIRECTORY);

Then create or modify onActivityResult:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
	if(requestCode == DirectoryPicker.PICK_DIRECTORY && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
		Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
		String path = (String) extras.get(DirectoryPicker.CHOSEN_DIRECTORY);
		// do stuff with path
	}
}

Setting options

After creating the Intent but before starting the activity, you can set the following options using intent.putExtra().
