    @qAminzzz Use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html to get the paths to video/image locations.
    Don't forget to request access rights from Android.

      @jsulm thanks for link.
      i searched in this link and i made this code :

      QStringList movies = QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::PicturesLocation);
      
          
      
          foreach(QString file, movies)
      
          {
      
              qInfo() << "path: " << file;
      
          }
      
      output:
      
      path:  "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures"
      path:  "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.qtproject.example.videoTesting/files/Pictures"
      

      i think it did not work correctly because in "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures" directory there is no all my android device pictures

      please help me

        @qAminzzz Where do you store the pictures on your device? Do you store them on sd card?

                  Then you can go through all the paths where the user can store something (not only images/videos locations) and then use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdir.html#entryList-1 for each of these paths to get the files there and filter those by file extension.

                    @jsulm this link shows to get all files in a directory
                    but might be there a directory in that directory
                    or might be there 10 directory in one directory and we can't search all them

                    but in device gallery there is all media like screen shots, apps, downloads and ...
                    but in this way we can just see all files in a directory not in device
                    is there any way to do gallery device work?

                      You can also use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdiriterator.html which is reqursive

                          I don't know whether there is an Java API on Android for that.

                              yes, at least those where your app has read access

                                @jsulm thank you so much
                                it worked with these code:

                                function:

                                void searchPaths(QVariant path)
                                {
                                    QStringList files; // add files to this ( paths )
                                    QStringList filter; // mp4 files filter
                                
                                    filter << "*.mp4"; // add filter
                                
                                    qInfo("-----");
                                
                                    QDirIterator dir(path.toString(), filter, QDir::Files, QDirIterator::Subdirectories); // get all files in directory
                                    while (dir.hasNext())
                                    {
                                        qInfo() << dir.next();
                                        files << dir.next(); // 
                                    }
                                }
                                
                                

                                use:

                                searchPaths("enter path here") 
                                
                                

                                now i can sleep easy. thanks
