Android File Explorer

I started writing Android File Explorer back in October 2011. The designs goals behind this app were (and are)

• Usability
• Close adherence with Android UI Design guidelines
• Speed

However, admittedly, I haven't pushed any update since April 2012. The project has been dormant all this while but its far from dead.

In the past one year, a lot of awesome frameworks and design patterns have emerged. I will be making use of many of these frameworks, tools and design patterns with a complete rewrite of the app.
Plan is to also start a donate version.

PS: You can download this app from Google Play

remove unnecessary context menu on the right side

because:

1. its common to use a long tap in other apps to do things like this
2. the button is too close to the scorllbar. so you most of the time scroll by 
mistake
3. interface gets much clearer

prefill file-rename popup with the current file name.

and maybe preselect everything except the file extension. like this renaming 
files should be much faster

Unable to delete folders, only single file

I've written some code that creates a folder and three file under it.

From explorer i'm able to delete the files, but there is no way to delete the 
folder, because the 'minus' icon is disabled (grayed) after clicking on a 
folder.

The folder is under sdcard, i've permission to write (from the app), so i don't 
thing there is a permission problem.

Chinese Translations and Some Suggests

Hello, this is a nice app!
I have translated it into Chinese, include Traditional (TW) and Simplified (CN).
But I don't know if I translated some strings which can't be translated or not, 
so please check it, thank you!

I also have some suggests:
* Every time I open a file, it need to choose a app to open, maybe you need to 
set a option to choose the app to default.
* Show image preview.
* Show file/folder size and modify date on list (Is "pref_show_dir_sizes" shows 
on list?).
* Search file/folder name and file type.
* Previous page and next page.
* When I selected a folder, it could also shows "Add to bookmark".
* Select all (Will multi select feature include select all?).
* Encryption file/folder.

If you like some of suggests, please also add it, thank you!
Sorry, there are too many suggests. XD

As a file chooser denies openInputStream on /sdcard

My application[1] uses the ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent to allow the user to 
select a file. While I can select a file using Android-File-Explore, when I try 
to get its contents using contentResolver.openInputStream(intent.data), a 
permission denied error is thrown if that file resides on /sdcard. Reading 
files outside /sdcard work.

My application doesn't need the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, but if I 
grant it I can access /sdcard via Android-File-Explore.

This issue may be related to my 4.2 -> 4.4.2 upgrade, I was able to select 
files in this way prior to the upgrade. Several other file managers, but not 
all are affected by the issue. OI and ES File Explorers for example work OK.

some text is cut off in ldpi resolution

On my HTC Wildfire I got some lines of text in the listview cut off 
(screenshorts 1 and 2).

The preferred listview height seems to be 48dp on my screen, 48dp minus 12 dp 
for padding (2x6dp) is 36dp. The height of one textview is 26dp, and the size 
of text in another textview is 18dp, which is together more than 36dp. Maybe 
I'm wrong, but here's what I did to fix it (a rough fix, so if there is a nicer 
way - please, use it).

I changed the height of the explorer_resMeta textview to 20dp from 26 dp.
Also, I removed the left padding of the explorer_resName textview (it looked 
better to me, but I see no reason to use padding there).

After these changes the list looked like on the 3rd screenshot.

Library folder should have name "libs"

Looks like the folder with the *.jar is called 'libs', not 'lib'.

If you check $ANDROID_HOME/tools/ant/build.xml, you'll see a line saying:

  <property name="jar.libs.dir" value="libs" />

I can confirm, that I was not able to build the project from sources until I 
moved /lib to /libs.

Can you help ?

Thanks.

Highlight selected item

Would be a nice touch if the selected item were highlighted (by selected I mean 
long-press on a file)

You'd have to change the choicemode of the list when the select mode is 
activated.

Multi-select

Great that you make the app open source!

I think it would be very useful be able to select multiple files and 
copy/delete so on.

Possibly, you'd have to hide some of the options if more than one file is 
selected. But at least copy and delete should be available.
