public class VideoListActivity extends Activity {
    private Cursor videocursor;
    private int video_column_index;
    ListView videolist;
    int count;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_list);

        videolist = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        videolist.setAdapter(new VideoAdapter(getApplicationContext()));
        videolist.setOnItemClickListener(videogridlistener);
    }

    private OnItemClickListener videogridlistener = new OnItemClickListener() {

            videocursor.moveToPosition(position);
            String filename = videocursor.getString(video_column_index);
            Intent intent = new Intent(VideoListActivity.this, Viewvideo.class);

Answer 1

Try the following code:

public static ArrayList<File> getListFiles(File parentDir) {
    ArrayList<File> inFiles = new ArrayList<File>();
    File[] files;
    files = parentDir.listFiles();
    if (files != null) {
        for (File file : files) {
            if (file.getName().endsWith(".mp4") ||
                    file.getName().endsWith(".gif")) {
                if (!inFiles.contains(file)) inFiles.add(file);

                if (!inFiles.contains(file)) inFiles.add(file);
            }
        }
    }
    return inFiles;
}

Use :

private static final String WHATSAPP_STATUSES_LOCATION =  
"/storage/emulated/0/yourfoldername";


getListFiles(new File(WHATSAPP_STATUSES_LOCATION));

use this code :

        }


    }

and add permission to manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

A bit late but posting for future viewers

Uri uri= MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
String condition=MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA +" like?";
String[] selectionArguments=new String[]{"%FolderPath%"};
String sortOrder = MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_TAKEN + " DESC";
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media._ID, MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_ID,
                MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME,MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri,projection, condition, selectionArguments, sortOrder);


int idColumn = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID);
int pathColumn=cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);

if(cursor!=null){
    ContentResolver resolver = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver();
    while(cursor3.moveToNext()){
        String filePath=cursor.getString(pathColumn);
        int id = cursor.getInt(idColumn );
        Bitmap thumbNail = bitmap=MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(resolver, imageID, 
                                  MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND, null);
    }
}

Answer 4

use this code`  
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/Your Folder/";`
 File f = new File(path);
 File file[] = f.listFiles();
for (int i=0; i < file.length; i++)
        {
            Log.d("Files", "FileName:" + file[i].getName());
        }

above code give you all file from the folder ,after you can separate using it's extension
