    <p>When I read from the following two locations, only some of the photos are read:</p> <pre><code>File appStorage = context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES); File externalStorage = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES); </code></pre> <p>Downloaded photos for example are not read. Yet, if I manually open the gallery app, I see all my photos in there.</p> <p>So how do I read all images that are in the gallery? Basically, where do I look? </p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I really think my question quite obvious, but for some reason people seem to be stuck on <code>ACTION_PICK</code>. I am looking for exactly what I say I am looking for above. If I wanted to use <code>ACTION_PICK</code>, I would use the following code:</p> <pre><code>public void dispatchGalleryIntent(View view) { Intent gallery = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(gallery, LOAD_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE); } </code></pre> <p>I don't need my user to pick images from the gallery. No. What I need is for the app itself to load all the images that are in the gallery. I am really not sure how else to say this.</p> <p>NOTE:</p> <p>In case more clarification is needed, here is the code I am using to read the files I mention in the OP (i.e., <code>appStorage</code> and <code>externalStorage</code>):</p> <pre><code>void addFiles(final File parent, Set&lt;File&gt; images) { try { for (final File file : parent.listFiles()) { if (!file.isDirectory()) { images.add(file); } else { addFiles(file, images); } } } catch (Exception e) { } } </code></pre>

    2. CO@Srikanth I don't understand the suggestion. My app is trying to find all the images in a user's library. How do I know what the absolute path is?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
