playing audio in directories

I have copied parts of my music library to the SD-card in my Android. Now I would like to play the audio files in a directory and its sub directories preferentially just by tapping on the directory in file manager.
How do I accomplish this.
Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure the stock Samsung file manager app won't do that. Suggest you use a music player app that has a file browser in it. I use Foobar2000, and that can do that, i.e. play the audio files in a directory with one tap.

STOP , the 'Battery Low Warning' that pops up ???

It's only 4 years since I owned a HTC running Android 5, but unfortunately I don't recall any settings related to this. I do remember that my M7 did not pop up a message every 30 seconds though (I think it may have popped up something once, at least I recall seeing such things occasionally, but I definitely would have remembered if it did it continuously).

Unfortunately that M7 is now running Lineage (Android 7) so I can't go back and check the HTC settings any more. :(

Control icon on lock screen

I figured it out. The lockscreen doesn't support widgets, they are notifications. I found two things that have to be set properly:

settings->Apps & notifications -> Notifications -> Apps -> "Youtube Music enabled"
settings->Apps & notifications -> Notifications -> Lock Screen -> "Show all notifications"

I turned both those things on and the control "widget" appears on the lockscreen.

Apps How to run app in background with other apps

For copied text the obvious way is to use the system "clipboard". That's what it's for, to copy text strings from one app and paste them into another. I'm sure you can make your app automatically access the clipboard when you switch focus to it(*), you'd anyway have to use the normal select and copy features to put things into the clipboard, so the thing that's missing is your preferred UI of "dragging" the selected text onto your button. That however I can't help with, since I don't actually develop for Android.

(*) Of course whether I'd want an app that automatically accesses anything that's in the clipboard whenever I open it, without any interaction from me, is a different question. There are potential privacy issues there, e.g. if someone uses the clipboard to copy a password or bank account number it probably won't occur to them that your app could grab those data if they haven't cleared the clipboard or replaced its contents before they next opened your app. But you would probably not be unique in doing this, as I believe I've read that clipboard security in Android is less than stellar.

App to Sync Photos to Cloud and back to PC?

I solved the problem. I'm a big Google/Android person. Most people are either an Apple ecosystem person, a Google/Android person, a Microsoft person (OneDrive) or an Amazon ecosystem person. But unfortunately in this case, Google, you lost me.

Good! :) Just because you use an Android device, there's no obligation to use Google's online services with it. I use OneDrive myself, and I don't even use Windows. I have Android devices and Apple Macbooks.

Help Unable to install NORTON w LIFELOCK

I had a neighbor who has all of my devices hacked 3 years ago. Between synched emails and plugging my phone's & tablet into my laptop, I'm still not sure how he did it all, but he destroyed me financially & the aftershocks still lives.
Now, I just got a brand new phone, and its giving me problems (I posted earlier about that) Now, I can't get NORTON on my laptop. (I was using them just because of the discount from Comcast & Lifelock) I have every reason to have PTSD after what I went thru.
PS I meant Geek Squad to have my devices checked again and protection installed. I havnt had a device WITHOUT hacking issues in years. But my judge of character is getting better.

Help CD software on Andriod

I know the feeling!
But I do dislike CDs, especially the players.

My God, a fingerprint and the disc will ski ski ski ski ski ski skip skip skip e e e e e e e e e eve eve eve eve even wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo worse than the vinyl records they were supposed to replace!!!

No kidding, about 7-8 years ago I took an in home inventory of my working tape deck vs. working CD players...

at that time I had a total of 14 working cassette decks and 5 working CD/DVD players.

I had no broken cassette decks and about 5 non functional disc players.

Now I have much less, but just from memory I have 9 working tape decks, and only 3 working disc players.

I don't keep anything like that around. I only bought a CD/DVD drive for a job I had to do. And I have absolutely no interest in using cassettes these days, apart from watching some YouTube videos about them.

Interesting issue

There are apps out there that allow you to look into apps that are not open source.

This can be done legitimately for educational purposes.

But it is definitly not ok to modify the app and then provide it to others in any way, shape, or form.

MTK is an excellent file manager that has such features.

Of course, you would really need to already know what you are looking for, and where to find it within the apk of the app.
