[Tutor] read cell phone's directory?

[= Clayton - Tang =]

Hi all,

I am on WIndows and have an Android cell phone running Android 4.4.4.

When I connect the phone to my PC using a micro-USB cable, the phone appears
next to the local hard drive under "This PC" window, then I can browse the
phone's directory like a regular disk. My goal is to find all the photos on the
phone then do something with the files. So I copied the path from the File
Explore navigation bar, which is 'This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\DCIM\Camera',
but the follow code doesn't work.

I get an error "W indowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path
specified: 'This PC\\Nexus 5\\Internal storage\\DCIM\\Camera/*.*". Does anyone
know who to make it work?


import os;

## Example pulls filenames from a dir, prints their relative and absolute paths
def printdir(dir):
  filenames = os.listdir(dir)
  for filename in filenames:
    print filename ## foo.txt
    print os.path.join(dir, filename) ## dir/foo.txt (relative to current dir)
    print os.path.abspath(os.path.join(dir, filename)) ## /home/nick/dir/foo.txt
    print

if __name__ == '__main__':
  printdir('This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\DCIM\Camera')
