Launching file browser and selecting files

To launch the file browser and select the files:

1. Launch the device’s native file browser by calling the static FileSelect launch method and store the returned list of files in the FileSelectDetail array.

   //Launch the device’s native file browser to select multiple picture files from the device’s external storage
   FileSelectDetail [] arrSelectedFiles = FileSelect.launch(FileSelect.FILE_SYSTEM_EXTERNAL, FileSelect.MEDIA_TYPE_PICTURE, true);
   if (arrSelectedFiles != null)
   {
   	System.out.println("number of selected files " + arrSelectedFiles.length);
   }
   

   Note: The static FileSelect.launch method throws an IOException error if the device’s native file browser is busy or not ready, and an IllegalArgumentException error if the startURL or mediaType is invalid.

2. Use the static attributes of the FileSelectDetail class to retrieve detailed information about the selected files such as display name, MIME type, size, and URL.

   // Retrieve detailed information about the selected files on the device
   if (arrSelectedFiles != null)
   {
   	for (int i = 0; i < arrSelectedFiles.length; i++)
   	{
   		System.out.println("display_name " + arrSelectedFiles[i].displayName);
   		System.out.println("mime_type " + arrSelectedFiles[i].mimeType);
   		System.out.println("size" + arrSelectedFiles[i].size);
   		System.out.println("url " + arrSelectedFiles[i].url);
   		
   	}
   }
