Register your broadcast receiver like this:
IntentFilter intentFilter = new
IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT);
intentFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED);
intentFilter.addDataScheme("file");
intentFilter.addDataAuthority("*", null);
intentFilter.addDataPath((mIsExternal
?CursorUtils.EXTERNAL_STORAGE_ROOT
:CursorUtils.PHONE_STORAGE_ROOT).getAbsolutePath(),
PatternMatcher.PATTERN_LITERAL);
context.registerReceiver(this, intentFilter);
Then close all your files when you get an ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT
and re-open them (if necessary) on ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED.
(in the 'public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)' method
of this broadcast receiver).
(EXTERNAL_STORAGE_ROOT is the standard value for external-storage
(usually "/sdcard") and PHONE_STORAGE_ROOT is "/emmc" (for HTC
Incredible and such phones)).
I'm not sure if this is the 'official' way of doing it, but it works
for me. :)
