Display photos from SD in android.widget.Gallery

Last example demonstrate how to "Implement custom dialog to open folder". The photos in the selected folder will be loaded in a custom adapter to display in Gallery widget.

The layout of the dialog is same as previous example, refer dialoglayout.xml in "Implement custom dialog to open folder".

Modify main.xml, to add <Gallery>.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />
    
    <Gallery
        android:id="@+id/photobar"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="200px" />
 
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/opendialog"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Load Folder" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/jpglist"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

Modify AndroidGalleryActivity.java.

In order to reduce the resource need to keep the bitmaps, we have to implement a new class PhotoItem hold the path of individual jpg file, and the re-sized bitmap. And a custom BaseAdapter, PhotoBarAdapter, for PhotoItem is implemented for the Gallery.
