Getting path of a pdf in android

Question

Friends I am trying to get path of the pdf's for my app. Suppose there are n number of pdf's in your android phone(may be in root dir or sdcard) then how could you get there path programmatically ? Could some one please suggest me some hints ?

Thanks in Advance

File images = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
imagelist = images.listFiles(new FilenameFilter()
{
public boolean accept(File dir, String name)
{
return ((name.endsWith(".pdf")));
}
});
pdflist = new String[imagelist.length];
for(int i = 0;i<imagelist.length;i++)
{
pdflist[i] = imagelist[i].getName();
}

use the path of the phone you have to search path of phone and then all the work will be done by the code ok and just use google for getting path of phone thats it. – Nitin Jul 24 '12 at 09:35

For SD Card check

    if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(
            android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
         File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory());

         File[] files = f.listFiles();
         File file;
         for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
                file = files[i];
         }
    }

    //For Internal Memory

    else {
            /* save the folder in internal memory of phone */

        File f = new File("/data/data/com.your.package/");
        File[] files = f.listFiles();
    }
