Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns the non-removable external memory location. But I see what you mean, on devices with only removable external memory, it could return that location. However, the point remains that the framework only considers one external storage as general purpose R/W storage.
Let me make it clear, I am not against the ability for the API to return all the available external storage locations. I am merely pointing out the possible rationale behind the decisions in the system. I think the same rationales were behind the swith to MTP access in ICS in lieu of USB mass storage access. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
