/**
 * Return list of files from path. 
 *
 * @param path - The path to directory with images
 * @return Files name and path all files in a directory, that have ext = "jpeg", "jpg","png", "bmp", "gif"  
 */
private List getListOfFiles(String path) {

    File files = new File(path);

    FileFilter filter = new FileFilter() {

        private final List exts = Arrays.asList("jpeg", "jpg",
                "png", "bmp", "gif");

        @Override
        public boolean accept(File pathname) {
            String ext;
            String path = pathname.getPath();
            ext = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
            return exts.contains(ext);
        }
    };

    final File [] filesFound = files.listFiles(filter);
    List list = new ArrayList();
    if (filesFound != null && filesFound.length > 0) {
        for (File file : filesFound) {
           list.add(file.getName());
        }
    }

    return list;
}

This will give you the list of images in a folder. You can modify the code to get all files.
