i use a Samsung Galaxy Tablet with Android 3.2. This version has a bug,
so the external sd card is readonly.
With File.DirRootExternal i have the path to the readonly sd card.
The solution should be
Before Honeycomb 3.2, apps only had to request for the permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and they would have write access to both the internal and external so-called "sdcard" sets of memory. Now, apps have to request for WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE if they want to write to the external SD card, but many of them have not yet been updated to do so yet. This affects file managers / explorer / compression utility type apps most often because users would tend to use them to copy / move / zip files within the file system.
The problem is, that the users (have) want to get the data with CSV files on and have do send back the results with the SDCARD.
It's a offline data input program.

Looking at the subject more seriously, I think it's really important! Till now, I'm using 2.3, but sooner or later, I'll have to use more recent roms. I think we all should try to fix this. Googling a little, didn't seem to give the desired answer.
I realy hat this, they (google ?) changes the needed rights and all the software is out. But nowbody blames google or android, they blame us or our tool.
So we have to get it work, but I don't have the knowledge to handle it.
As I understand, the needed right is needed from all 3.x and 4.x Android versions or ?
Not for all 3.x or 4.x versions respectively manufacturer.
I have no problems wit archos Tablets with Version 3.x and 4.x.
Only some Samsung (maybe some other manufacturers) Tablets have this problem.
