Hello.
My application allow to download files and store them on the external
card. To avoid filling it, I've implemented a safety check so it
prevents downloading when the free space is less than 20MB. The
computation of the free space is done by:
public synchronized long getFreeSpace()
{
if (statFs == null)
{
statFs = new
StatFs(getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath());
}
return statFs.getAvailableBlocks() * statFs.getBlockSize();
}
which I presume is correct. In fact, it works in all my tests and for
what I can say for the 99% of users. But a single user notified me
that my app is constantly giving the "card full" message, as if the
above method didn't work. He also told me that the problem went away
after a while, and returned after upgrading a new release of my app.
The user seems an advanced one, and I think he's able to check and
correctly manage the contents of his external card. He reported that
the card has more than 1.4GB free on the card. Are you aware of any
specific issue or bug? The smartphone of the user is a Dell Streak
with Android 1.6. Thanks.
