How to list files in an android directory?

In order to access the files, the permissions must be given in the manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Try this:

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/Pictures";
Log.d("Files", "Path: " + path);
File directory = new File(path);
File[] files = directory.listFiles();
Log.d("Files", "Size: "+ files.length);
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
{
    Log.d("Files", "FileName:" + files[i].getName());
}
