I did use getExteranlStorageDirectory() method but i realize Android always mount it to /sdcard I am starting to think why not hardcode. I guess Google team will not change it (maybe the source /mnt/sdacrd but not the mount path), then again I guess it is a good practise and I will change it. :) thank for the advice.
