Hi all,
is there any way to read a smartmedia card with android >= 6.0. I used an usb adaptor and usb otg cable and worked ok for android <=5 but in newer versions of android It tries to format the card (which I dont like obviously).
Sub leertarjetainfo
folder=""
Dim dwname As String = ""
paths = storage.Initialize
For i = 0 To paths.Size-1
Log(paths.GetKeyAt(i)&"="&paths.GetValueAt(i))
If paths.GetKeyAt(i)="DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS" Then
dwname=paths.GetValueAt(i)
Log(dwname)
End If
Next
Dim de As String = File.DirRootExternal
Log ("DirRootExternal = "&de)
Dim mtc As Matcher = Regex.Matcher("(/|\\)[^(/|\\)]*(/|\\)",de)
extsdcard = de
If mtc.Find = True Then
Dim mnt As String = mtc.Group(0)
Log ("mount point = "& mnt)
Dim dirs As List = File.ListFiles(mnt)
For Each f As String In dirs
If storage.isExternalStorageRemovable(mnt&f) Then
Log ("Device = "& f&":"&mnt&f&" is removable")
If File.ListFiles(mnt&f).IsInitialized Then
Log("probably ExtSDCard: "&mnt&f)
extsdcard = mnt&f
Else
'Log("Problem reading "&mnt&f)
End If
Else
Log ("Device = "& f&":"&mnt&f&" is NOT removable")
End If
Next
End If
Log("extsdcard probably="&extsdcard)
folder=extsdcard 'revert
For Each f As String In File.ListFiles(extsdcard)
Log(">"&f)
If f=dwname Then
dwf = True
End If
Next
Log(extsdcard) ' this is the folder!!!!
If extsdcard.Contains("Usb") Then
usbready=True
Else
usbready=False
' if dwf exists revert to local folder
If dwf Then
extsdcard=folder & "/" & dwname
Log(extsdcard)
End If
End If
End Sub
Data (log files) is located in the root folder of the SMCard.
Thanks in advance.
Tested before the first email. There is a warning on the top line of the Android screen: external medium: the USB drive is not compatible and then it offers the possibility to change to a compatible format, but the card and its contents are the same, so I suppose it is a limitation of Android OS. and there is no way to avoid it.
