No SDcard

Yes.

If an app is installed to sdcard, does it still have its own private, protected dir DirInternal, and have access to it?

I assume it does, just checking...

Im wondering if the DirInternal might have to reside on the same mounted drive as the app. Erel???

It's all detailed here App Install Location | Android Developers.

Excellent! Thanks again, kind sir

Hi,

I know, that File.DirRootExternal gives me the root of the SD-Card, but my Samsung Galaxy S+ does have 2 of those an internal SD-Card plus my SD-Card.

File.DirInternal => "/data/data/de.test1/files"
File.DirRootExternal => "/mnt/sdcard" => with many subdirs

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd => here is my SD-Card.

Is this normal ?
Is the name "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd" always the same or different, on other Android devices ?

We want to transfer external Data (CSV Files) with the SD-Cards onto the smartphone and import them. Then the missing data will be typed in my program and the Export CSV-Files have to go to the SD-Card back.

If there is no "standardname" for those "external_sd" Cards, I have to
search throught the dirs on the SD Card ... is there an easy solution or just
walk recursive throught te dirs by myself ?

I can do that, but maybe you now a better (faster) way ;-)

It's actually gives what Google calls "external memory", that is an area of public memory. It was usually an SD-card on early phones but on later phones and tablets it can also be an area of public internal memory. There is no universal way of naming and accessing additional SD-cards when there is already external memory available. They will be hanging off \mnt somewhere but that is all you can assume. You can't necessarily assume that you have write access either. On the "pure" US Google version of Android 3.2 on the Motorola Xoom it is mounted read-only (there is a valid reason for this) but other manufacturer's versions have been tweaked to allow writing. Google really needs to clear up this confusion - hopefully with Android 4.0.

Thanks for the info, so I have to put an ID or marker file on the external SD and search the external memory for this marker, good work google ;-)
On the Windows Mobile Side there is a FileSelect(), I did not find this here. :sign0163:
