How can I add folder icon to my listview

Question

for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
{
    File file = files[i];
    path.add(file.getPath());
    if(file.isDirectory())
        item.add(file.getName() + R.drawable.folder); /* it doesn't work, because it shows numbers instead of folder icon */
    else
        item.add(file.getName());
}

It doesn't work; it shows numbers instead of the folder icon.

Your on the right track, I posted some links to open source code so you can continue creating your own :) — Jared Burrows, Apr 06 '12 at 21:29

There several Android tutorials on make file mangers and lists: Android Programming: Where To Start For Creating A Simple File Browser?

That link - on StackOverFlow - has other links that good for what you are trying to work on. Also, you can use the source code from OpenIntents open source file manager:
