Hi, I am already using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() and its giving me access to /mnt/sdcard (so thats not where I am mouting the card on my computer, as I am not mounting it). My first application is able to read and write in /mnt/sdcard/file.xml by using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().
The second application says : File not found and I use the exact same thing, and the path is good! In this app, Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() also gives me "/mnt/sdcard" but is indicated as False for isReadable and isWritable methods...why?? I do not get it...I tried everything, even hardcode the path, same problem. Why on earth is the second application unable to access this file?
