How to get the path to photos on memory card?

[heman]

I'm developing a image application and want to keep the file loading part simple with little user interactivity. I don't want a classic filebrowser, just let the user choose a image from a list of thumbnails created from all photos found in the phone and on the memory card (if available).

I have two swedish phones (6111 and 6280, S40 3rd edition), both uses the same path for the photos on the phone: c:/predefgallery/predefphotos/. Only 6280 has memory stick, path used is e:/Foton/. The path on the memory stick seems to be localized (Foton is swedish for Photos) and I need to know all possible paths on all languganges on all series 40 3rd edition phones.

Any ideas how to do this? Is there some list of paths used on memory card?

I assume that:
"fileconn.dir.photos" only returns the path to photos on the phone (c:/predefgallery/predefphotos/)?
"fileconn.dir.photos.name" returns a localized path to c:/predefgallery/predefphotos/ and thus can't be used om memory card?
file:///c:/predefgallery/predefphotos/ is the same on all s40 3rd edition?

Is this correct?

Hi,

to access the memory card You may use
fileconn.dir.memorycard &
fileconn.dir.memorycard.name

Yes, thank you for your reply. The problem is that these strings translates to the root of the memory card and I want the photo directory path directly. A solution would be to parse the subdirectorys of fileconn.dir.memorycard to find *.jpg-files and assume that the dir with the most files are nokias standard directory for saving photos. But since this is J2me I would like to avoid unnecessary file access.

The only solution I see is to get "fileconn.dir.photos.name", extract the last path-token (e.g. "Foton") from it and append it to the path returned by "fileconn.dir.memorycard".

Strange that Nokia didn't provide an equivalent property to e.g. "fileconn.dir.photos" for the memorycard...

I had the same problem and solved it like this:

String imageStartDir = System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard");
String photoDir = System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.photos.name").substring(1);
imageStartDir += photoDir.substring(photoDir.indexOf('/') + 1);
      
String videoStartDir = System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard");
String videoDir = System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.videos.name").substring(1);
videoStartDir += videoDir.substring(videoDir.indexOf('/') + 1);

Does anyone know if this works on all S40 phones or just 3rd edition?

Thanks for the reply, but String doesn't work in my program, I have tried adding stdio.h file also, but no luck.

Here the programming language is Java.
