Answer 2

It's very simple. Just do the following:

File dir = new File(path);
String[] files = dir.list();

Answer 3

You are looking in a specific location and obviously if you are looking in the ringtones directory you want audio type files. Here is exactly how to accomplish that task.

I have created an example application for you that shows exactly how to accomplish this task
