Android Explorer

**Don't Panic!** · 10-23-2008, 11:30 AM

I would like to see an on-device file explorer for Android phones. In addition to viewing filews on the phone and microSD card this file explorer should have editing functions including copy, paste, rename and move capabilities. The ability to view the microSD card and OS in stacked frames would be a definite plus but not really necessary if you could switch views without closing the program.

You and almost everyone else (Including ME!). There were a few browsers back when Android was in v.9 but I dont think any of them have made their way to 1.0 yet.

Agreed. This is a must. Though there is probably one being devloped by some one, some where.

yea, it's totally possible

we get a device like this so we DONT have to be at a PC all the time, not so we have to carry a laptop and a USB cable to move files

Interal File System and Direct SDCard Access is denied in Java Based Apps. The only access those apps can have to files is a special folder in the application itself.

Well I so happened to want this as well thats why I have rebuild the existing one partially for 1.0 i am currently workign on it still but here atleast u can use it to view the files. I do have to warn you i have found an issue with the android OS that does not allow you do Download apk files from Apache servers via GSM so you will have to download it via wi-fi .
