How To List Images On Sd Card Sorted According To Time

I can get the list of images in sd card using fololowing` but these are not sorted how can I get them sorted either by name or time thanks in advance String ExternalStorageDirect

Solution 1:

Maybe it will be easier if you use the built-in content provider

     MediaStore.Images.Media.query(cr, uri, projection, where, orderBy)

something like this:

    String[] projection = {MediaColumns._ID, MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED};
    Cursorc= MediaStore.Images.Media.query(getContentResolver(), MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, projection, null, MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED);

then you can loop the cursor to do whatever you need.

Solution 2:

- Use lastModified() method of File to get the time the file was modified.

- Store them in Collection like ArrayList<File>.

- Use java.util.Comparator<T> to compare and sort them according to time and name.
