Well, it's not what you asked for (since drawables come from different directories) but it may be closer to what you are looking for.
You can use Java reflection to find all the public fields in R.drawable. The drawable directory doesn't exist at runtime; the contents are packaged up into the .apk file. If that's not what you need to know, here are a couple of other possibilities: The assets directory DOES exist at runtime, at least conceptually; you can access that via the AssetManager, which provides a method to list the contents in a particular directory within the assets folder. Finally, you can use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to get a Java File object referring to the SD card, or Environment.getDataDirectory() to get an on-board location available to your program (but smaller, of course).
