Re: [android-developers] getExternalStorageDirectory() behaves differently on Jelly Bean 4.2
I ended up using the following: if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) cacheDir=new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(), context.getString(R.string.app_name_for_SharedPrefs)); else cacheDir=context.getCacheDir(); Then check bools from: cacheDir.exists() and cacheDir.canWrite() and decide if you need to use the existing dir, call cacheDir.mkdirs() or rather use context.getCacheDir() On Monday, November 19, 2012 12:28:54 PM UTC-5, Nikolay Elenkov wrote: On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 2:08 AM, David Schreiber flashma...@gmail.com javascript: wrote: Hello again, Probably you meant /sdcard/Android/obb/packagename, but this path is no more correct for a Nexus 7 with Android 4.2 (FYI I have the same problem at the moment).

[android-developers] getExternalStorageDirectory() behaves differently on Jelly Bean 4.2
On a Nexus 7, before 4.2, getExternalStorageDirectory() returns /storage/sdcard0/. On 4.2 it returns /storage/emulated/0 1 - I'm working on expansion files, and to test it, the documentation recommends to manually put my obb file on the device. But /storage/emulated/ is read-only and I can not create a '0' folder (which does not exists so far), thus I can not upload the file. Also only /storage/sdcard0/ is shared. 2 - Will obb files be properly downloaded into /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb folder by Google Play on Nexus 7 4.2? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] getExternalStorageDirectory() behaves differently on Jelly Bean 4.2
Hello Nikolay, is this some bad magic? Or how should the OS relate this expansion file with the app? Your recommended location doesn't have any package name in path? Greetings, David Am Montag, 19.
