Try installing a File Manager from the Play Store. I haven't developed on
HTC devices for a while now. The last one I used was the HTC Desire HD. It
didn't come with a built-in File Manager like on the Samsung phones. I
installed a free File Manager from the Play Store and used it to debug my

Well, this is a risk you take when using extra features. My app uses GPS

Please, even if someone has One V and does NOT encounter this problem (i.e.
internal storage is assigned to getExternalFilesDir), let me know.

Hello,
getExternalStorageState() and getExternalFilesDir(null)
Is this yet another phone that has a large built-in memory partition --
*and* a microSD card?
This has been a mess for years. Android APIs will return the large
built-in memory partition as the external storage, and you're on your
own trying to discover the path to microSD.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my problem is exactly the opposite!!
On this device, Android API returns the external SD card instead of the
large in-built partition! And since SD card is not mandatory, it will not
find it and my app needs it.

So check that the external storage exists first.
Of course I do. My problem is that if the user has no SD card put to the
optional slot, my app will not install (it needs APK Expansion from Google
Play). This is because getExternalStorageState() and getExternalFilesDir()
will not return the internal storage unfortunately, even though my app
External Storage != SD Card (read the docs)
External Storage is the part of the Android file system mounted
externally when you attach the phone to a computer (via USB) and enable
file sharing. It does NOT need to be the SD Card.

You misinterpret the issue (read my posts again)
Indeed, SD card is not equal to external storage. But it CAN be, if the
manufacturer decides to return it when you call getExternalFilesDir or
getExternalStorageState. This is exactly my problem: in case of HTC One V,
the API considers the SD
