Hi,
In my program, I need to access the full contents of the sdcard for
reading and writing.
I have found that the sdcard is itself mounted at /system/media/sdcard
(on Pandigital Novel 9" tablet, Android 2.0). Is there any library
function that would return this path correctly for any other Android
version? I tried Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory, but it only
returns /sdcard, and through that path I cannot see any files in the
root of the sdcard, only directories like Music, Images, etc.
Through /system/media/sdcard though I can see the entire card
contents.
/proc/self/mounts shows two different devices mounted at /sdcard and
at /system/media/sdcard.
In other words, I had to hardcode /system/media/sdcard in my program,
but I would like to aviod such hardcoding, and replace it with some
library call.
My code currently is:
.................
String imgpath = "/system/media/sdcard/" + imageName;
File imgfile = new File(imgpath);
context.toastMsg("getExternalStorageDirectory: " +
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory());
long fsize = imgfile.length();
context.toastMsg("image found size: " + fsize);
InputStream fstr = new FileInputStream(imgfile);
.................
The toast popup shows /sdcard.
Thanks.
