Android: how to get a directory list ordered by name or by date descending?

Question

I\'m able to do this:

    File images = new File(path);  
    File[] imageList = images.listFiles(new FilenameFilter(){  
        public boolean accept(File          


        

Answer 1

I was getting an exception

IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract!

so I used this and it worked ok:

Arrays.sort(filesList, new Comparator() {
   @Override
   public int compare(File a, File b) {
      if(a.lastModified() < b.lastModified() )
         return 1;
      if(a.lastModified() > b.lastModified() )
         return -1;
      return 0;
}});
