Is it possible to browse and access a mobile phone's image gallery using a MIDlet?

Yes, it is, if your device supports JSR 75 (FileConnection API). Then you can access almost every file on your mobile, however the user will most likely have to confirm every access to the FileSystem unless you certified your MIDlet, which is quite expensive.

Yes I have tried using FileConnection to do that. But isn't there a specific directory in which the phone stores all the images?

FileConnection fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open("<directory here>")

I don't know where to look for the phone's images. I need to automatically generate a list of the images in the phone's gallery.

Okay, so you want the device to tell you where it's default place for images is?
You can query this by calling

String imageHome = System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.photos");

There are also quite a lot of other properties you can query using this method, for an overview see http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._2_en.zip.html

Wow thanks a lot. This is really helpful for my application.

I happened to read this document just today, so I could quickly remember where it was *g*
