At least for the emulator, the SD card is always mounted at /sdcard, and I think merely testing for that path is sufficient to determine if one is mounted. There are also some broadcast intents for mounting and unmounting SD media, if you need to keep tabs on the status in real time. > For that matter, are there any rules as to how > an application should use SD card space? You'll need a Googler to answer strictly about "rules". That being said, I recommend you consider the SD card contents to really be the user's prerogative in terms of layout and contents as much as possible. Some might have an SD card populated from some other device that they're bringing over (e.g., loaded up with MP3s). It's also quite possible that they'll be sharing the SD card with other devices. Hence, the less intrusive you are on how the SD card can be used overall, the happier users will be. So, for example, forcing MP3s to fit in some specific directory structure because it's convenient for you might not be convenient for the user. > (e) Is there a style guide I can look at so I can figure out how to > design things like options dialogues? I think Romain Guy (no relation) mentioned in a recent post that they're working on a style guide. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ -- Available Now! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
