android: access local network share

Question

I was wondering, is there any way to get a file/directory listing from a local network share?

Iam trying to make an app that shows an overview of all the movies or music on my NAS.

You need to find a library that understands SMB/CIFS. jCIFS is known to work but I haven't used it myself. If you want to try it, most major Android file manager apps support this.
