copied!<blockquote> <p>Unfortunately, the proposed answer (getAbsoluteDir) in fact returns a new file using the same path as the file provided.</p> </blockquote> <p>Well, you could skip the <code>lister</code> line, and use <code>mydir.list()</code> instead. However, the code there does not "return" anything -- <code>list()</code> returns the files in a directory, and in that answer, it shows iteration over that list.</p> <blockquote> <p>How do use that string name to list the files that reside in that subdirectory?</p> </blockquote> <p>You can use:</p> <pre><code>File dir=getDir(whateverYourStringNameIs); dir.list(); </code></pre> <p>Or:</p> <pre><code>File dir=new File(getFilesDir(), whateverYourStringNameIs); dir.list(); </code></pre> <p>Basically, get a <code>File</code> object on your directory (which you already know how to get, as you called <code>mkdir()</code> on one), then call <code>list()</code> to get the contents. Once you have the <code>File</code> object, the rest is standard Java I/O.</p> <blockquote> <p>The reason why I'm doing this is I'm passing a reference to this directory (because of the files it contains) through a bundle (across Activities).</p> </blockquote> <p>Assuming that these are all your own activities, you could call <code>getAbsolutePath()</code> on your <code>File</code> to get a <code>String</code> for your <code>Bundle</code>. Then, on the other side, use <code>new File(bundle.getString("whateverYouCalledIt"))</code> to reconstitute the <code>File</code> object. Or, pass in the <code>Bundle</code> a string that represents the relative path within your app's portion of internal storage, and use that with <code>getDir()</code> or <code>getFilesDir()</code> to build a <code>File</code> object pointing to that same path.</p>
