Yes. That aspect -- returning the same value mounted or unmounted -- is nothing new, AFAIK. For example, Scott's test Incredible has no SD card installed, and so getExternalStorageState() is returning MEDIA_REMOVED, as I would expect. So, the Incredible, by default, appears to behave like any regular Android device, except that the samples being sent around now do not have an SD card pre-installed. Assuming Verizon comes through with their plans to ship a 2GB card with every device, that at least will be less of an issue. If Verizon backpedals, everybody is in a world of hurt. I did not attempt to test access to the big on-board flash partition (/emmc), for fear it might screw up Scott's test device. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
