There is no such concept in Android as "external sd path". > but it returns the internal > storage as > /mnt/sdcard No, that is external storage. External storage does not mean "can be physically removed by the user without requiring a soldering iron". External storage means "can be mounted as a drive or volume on a host machine when the device is connected via USB". > The real sd path is /mnt/external1 but I can't get it from the Api. There is no API to get an "sd path". Device manufacturers will declare something to be external storage. On older devices, this tends to be an SD card. On newer devices, this tends to be on-board flash. Newer devices with external storage as on-board flash may also have some form of SD card slot; there is no API means of getting a path to that SD card slot or determining its state (e.g., is there media in it). > Is it a bug in Xoom firmware?
