Android recursively deletes all files in a folder

1. Because you need to delete files, you need the following permissions:
<Uses-permission android: name = "android. permission. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"> </uses-permission>

2. Core code

[Java]
Package com. example. deleteyoumi;
 
Import java. io. File;
 
Import android. OS. Bundle;
Import android. OS. Handler;
Import android. OS. Message;
Import android. app. Activity;
Import android. view. Menu;
Import android. view. View;
Import android. view. View. OnClickListener;
Import android. widget. Button;
Import android. widget. Toast;

3. Expansion
This blog is based on deletion. Of course, this method can be used to traverse all files in a folder. For example, search for the hosts file.
