How to find and delete media files on device in Android

Question

I am creating an app to find and delete media files like video, photo saved on the Android device. I think I should go the way of Intents but I am not sure of the approach.

Could anyone please advise me on how to achieve this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try searching for the files with popular media formats like (mpg, avi, 3gp, jpg etc).

Use f.getName().endsWith(".3gp") //for 3gp, where f is the File object.

Delete these files using f.delete().
