Re: Java ME File Browser?

James,

There is no file dialog in MIDP because access to the file system is not a standard feature of MIDP in particular (or many entry-level and mid-range phones in general). For the same reason there is no standard way to access the built-in file dialog, if present.

Using the JSR 75 package, as you mention, you have access to the file system - the question is, how to present a file dialog graphically. You could of course use MIDP lcdui.List and/or lcdui.CustomItem. But for a richer experience you might look at basing your app on LWUIT:

 https://lwuit.dev.java.net/

It contains support for building rich screens - but unfortunately no ready-to-use file dialog. However, the project owners are very open to suggestions ... maybe they want to pick up the idea of a file dialog.
