You misinterpret the issue (read my posts again) Indeed, SD card is not equal to external storage. But it CAN be, if the manufacturer decides to return it when you call getExternalFilesDir or getExternalStorageState. This is exactly my problem: in case of HTC One V, the API considers the SD card as external storage (instead of using the internal for this purpose). Therefore, users who don't have an external SD card inserted into their HTC One V will not be able to install my application. Again, this is because HTC One V assigns the SD card to getExternalFilesDir.
