Like I said, although it shouldn't make any difference if I'm using the fully qualified path or not, I did try your suggestion and it still gave me null. I'm not questioning your program, I'm asking for help with my particular case. There are lots of examples on this subject that use the exact same code, I even downloaded a project of an application that should do the same, but I still got nothing.
I know this code should work, and as far as I know nothing else is needed to use it (like permissions and such), but it just doesn't work on both devices I have.
