I haven't checked but it probably works the same way as in Honeycomb: since external storage is used over MTP, what is shown are not the actual files, but the contents of the Android media store DB. To have them show up, you need to explicitly invoke MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(). If he reboots the devices the files should show up, since, IIRC, it scans on startup. There is an example here: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/content/ExternalStorage.html > > So apparently there's storage he has access to but it's not where the > external storage api points to? 'External' storage is under /mnt/sdcard so it shouldn't be different from previous versions. > Anyone else run into this yet?

You might also want to update your app to do a scan before looking for backups. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
