Blank screen when opening a pdf using 'com.github.barteksc:android-pdf-viewer:2.8.2' library

I have an issue with using this library
compile 'com.github.barteksc:android-pdf-viewer:2.8.2'
Well I have a couple of pdfs created from my app and I want to give th user an option to view them from the app.Im loading the files from a dialog and on select the selected pdf shoulld open.Here is the dialog.
public class FileExplore extends BaseActivityAlt {
private static final String TAG = "F_PATH";
private static final int DIALOG_LOAD_FILE = 1000;
ArrayList<String> str = new ArrayList<String>();
ListAdapter adapter;
private Boolean firstLvl = true;
private Item[] fileList;

startActivity(intent);
}
private void loadFileList() {
try {
path.mkdirs();
} catch (SecurityException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "unable to write on the sd card ");
}
// Checks whether path exists
if (path.exists()) {
FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
#Override
public boolean accept(File dir, String filename) {
File sel = new File(dir, filename);
// Filters based on whether the file is hidden or not
return (sel.isFile() || sel.isDirectory())
&& !sel.isHidden();
}
};
String[] fList = path.list(filter);
fileList = new Item[fList.length];
for (int i = 0; i < fList.length; i++) {
fileList[i] = new Item(fList[i], R.mipmap.pdf_icon);
// Convert into file path
File sel = new File(path, fList[i]);
// Set drawables
if (sel.isDirectory()) {
fileList[i].icon = R.drawable.company;
Log.d("DIRECTORY", fileList[i].file);
} else {
Log.d("FILE", fileList[i].file);
}
}
if (!firstLvl) {
Item temp[] = new Item[fileList.length + 1];
for (int i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
temp[i + 1] = fileList[i];
}
temp[0] = new Item("Up", R.drawable.forward);
fileList = temp;
}
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "path does not exist");
}
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<Item>(this,
android.R.layout.select_dialog_item, android.R.id.text1,

// densities)

return view;
}
};
}
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
Dialog dialog = null;

if (fileList == null) {
Log.e(TAG, "No files loaded");
dialog = builder.create();
return dialog;
}
switch (id) {
case DIALOG_LOAD_FILE:
builder.setTitle(R.string.choose_file);
builder.setAdapter(adapter, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
chosenFile = fileList[which].file;
File sel = new File(path + "/" + chosenFile);
if (sel.isDirectory()) {
firstLvl = false;
// Adds chosen directory to list
str.add(chosenFile);
fileList = null;
path = new File(sel + "");
loadFileList();
removeDialog(DIALOG_LOAD_FILE);
showDialog(DIALOG_LOAD_FILE);
Log.d(TAG, path.getAbsolutePath());
}
// Checks if 'up' was clicked
else if (chosenFile.equalsIgnoreCase("up") && !sel.exists()) {
// present directory removed from list
String s = str.remove(str.size() - 1);
// path modified to exclude present directory

path.toString().lastIndexOf(s)));
fileList = null;
// if there are no more directories in the list, then
// its the first level
if (str.isEmpty()) {

}
loadFileList();

// File picked
else {

intent.putExtra("Filename",chosenFile);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
});
break;
}
dialog = builder.show();
return dialog;
}
private class Item {
public String file;
public int icon;
public Item(String file, Integer icon) {
this.file = file;
this.icon = icon;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return file;
}
}}
And here is the class loaded onClicking an item in the dialog
public class PdfViewer extends BaseActivityAlt implements OnLoadCompleteListener, OnPageErrorListener {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.pdf_viewer);
PDFView pdfView = (PDFView) findViewById(R.id.pdfView);
String filename = getIntent().getStringExtra("Filename");
File pdffile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),filename);
Uri file = Uri.fromFile(pdffile);
Toast.makeText(PdfViewer.this, filename, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
pdfView.fromUri(file)
.defaultPage(1)
.password(null)
.load();
}
#Override
public void loadComplete(int nbPages) {
}
#Override
public void onPageError(int page, Throwable t) {
}}

I just realised my mistake: I completely forgot to add the path.

Android: How to make user selected images become the image of the ImageButton?

I'm new to android and I need the image from the users choice after choosing the image from any location to be the image of the image button. Can anyone provide me with a sample code to help me out? Thanks.

Another thing, I am also not sure of how to save the image. Thanks.

Set an item clicked listener on the list view. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.html#setOnItemClickListener(android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener)
On its callback you will probably be able to get the file info needed. Then it's just a matter of setting the drawable on the button. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageView.html#setImageBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap)

home and back buttons for file browser android

I'm implementing a simple file browser and I've got navigation working (thanks to online sources) now I want to make a home and back button to navigate directly to the set root and to the parent directory respectively. I made an actionbar and added two buttons but I don't know how to get them to function properly. The last function is for setting the button functions. Sorry in advance if I'm not posting the code properly
The following is the code I have (I'm extending ListActivity):
private List<String> item = null;
private List<String> path = null;
private String root;
private TextView myPath;
private File f;
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myPath = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.path);
root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
getDir(root);
}
private void getDir(String dirPath)
{
myPath.setText("Location: " + dirPath);
item = new ArrayList<String>();
path = new ArrayList<String>();
f = new File(dirPath);
File[] files = f.listFiles();
if(!dirPath.equals(root))
{
//item.add(root);
//path.add(root);
item.add("../");
path.add(f.getParent());
}
for(int i=0; i < files.length; i++)
{
File file = files[i];
if(!file.isHidden() && file.canRead()){
path.add(file.getPath());
if(file.isDirectory()){
item.add(file.getName() + "/");
}else{
item.add(file.getName());
}
}
}
ArrayAdapter<String> fileList =
new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.rows, item);
setListAdapter(fileList);
}
#Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
File file = new File(path.get(position));
if (file.isDirectory())
{
if(file.canRead()){
getDir(path.get(position));
}else{
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setTitle("[" + file.getName() + "] folder can't be read!")
.setPositiveButton("OK", null).show();
}
}else {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setTitle("[" + file.getName() + "]")
.setPositiveButton("OK", null).show();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.home:
path.add(root);
return true;
case R.id.back:
path.add(f.getParent());
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
**end of code
Thank you

If you are using listview, try to do mListView.invalidateViews().
If you are using listActivity, just call mList.invalidateViews().

Null pointer exception trying to remove from listview

I get a null pointer exception in the deleteIt method in the filelist.notifyDataSetChanged();
I need some help trying to remove the file, please be kind. It took me a couple of hours how to add the longclick method. This could could be used by someone but I need to help with the removing item from list.

just try this change your statement
ArrayAdapter filelist = null;
with
ArrayAdapter<String> filelist = null;
and also you are re-declaring filelist in your getDir method so change it to
filelist = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.row, item);
setListAdapter(filelist);

onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
File file = new File(path.get(position));
if (file.exists()) {
deleteIt("Do you want to Delete", file.getName(), file);
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "File not Exist", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

How to list the data in sdcard

I want to display the file name which is residing in specific location in sdcard. is it possible to display it in listview format? pls guide me.

This is the stuff,
item = new ArrayList<String>();
path = new ArrayList<String>();
File f = new File("/sdcard/");
// or you can use File f=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPAth());
File[] files = f.listFiles();
for(int i=0; i < files.length; i++)
{
File file = files[i];
path.add(file.getPath());
if(file.isDirectory())
item.add(file.getName() + "/");
else
item.add(file.getName());
}
ArrayAdapter<String> fileList =
new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.row, item);
setListAdapter(fileList);
For more detail look at: Implement a simple File Explorer in Android .

If you know the location/path of the directory from where you want to get the files from, then you can use the following code to get the list of files and display them in list view.
//Assuming that MEDIA_PATH is the location from where the files are to be retrieved.
List<String> songs=new ArrayList<String>();
File home = new File(MEDIA_PATH); // Getting file representation of the directory
File[] musicFiles=home.listFiles();
if(musicFiles.length>0){
for( File f:musicFiles) { songs.add(f.getName()); }
ListAdapter adapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,songs);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
If you are using ListActivity, you wouldn't need to use setContentView(...).
You can also use a FilenameFilter, if you want only specific type of files(e.g mp3 files) to be fetched and displayed.

Use this code,
public class RecordedVideos extends ListActivity {
private List<String> item = null;
private List<String> path = null;
private String root="/sdcard/Recorded Videos";
private TextView myPath;
Button back;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.filelist);
back=(Button)findViewById(R.id.back);
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
lv.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
long arg3) {
File file = new File(path.get(arg2));
boolean b=file.delete();
return false;
}
});
myPath = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.path);
getDir(root);
back.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
finish();
}
});
}
private void getDir(String dirPath)
{
myPath.setText("Location: " + dirPath);
item = new ArrayList<String>();
path = new ArrayList<String>();
File f = new File(dirPath);
File[] files = f.listFiles();
if(!dirPath.equals(root))
{
item.add(root);
path.add(root);
item.add("..../");
path.add(f.getParent());
}
for(int i=0; i < files.length; i++)
{
File file = files[i];
path.add(file.getPath());
if(file.isDirectory())
item.add(file.getName() + "/");
else
item.add(file.getName());
}
ArrayAdapter<String> fileList =
new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.row, item);
setListAdapter(fileList);
