For getting the file with particular extension like (.txt) you will have to use following code:-

class NameFilter implements FilenameFilter 
{
      public boolean accept(File dir, String name) 
      {
             return (name.endsWith(".txt") ||name.endsWith(".TXT"));
      }
}

give it to the path where your text files are stored. – Born To Win Apr 10 '14 at 05:20

if it's your application, you can do that easily..
(you know the path you are using very well)

however, if it's other's app (like Skype), as you know, it writes data in it's own exclusive directory (in phone memory).. e.g., /data/data/com.skype.raider
you can still have control over this by checking files inside getFilesDir() - as long as you know the full-package-name (the principle is the same as Clear Data)
check this out for further reference..

but it may also write files in sdcard,. which (the path) might be unpredictable..
