I've got an app running on an Android 8.1 7in tablet which uses a microSD card
for its RW data storage. I've tried using:
specialFolderPath("external documents")
which the docs describe as follows:
• "external documents": The folder on the primary shared/external
storage device where application-specific data can be placed
but this doesn't point to the microSD.
Instead I'm having to try to pause the app and then search around for the
microSD. So far I've found 7 different locations for the microSD, depending on
the model of tablet:
1. /mnt/ext_sdcard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
2. /mnt/sdcard2/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
3. /mnt/m_external_sd/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
4. /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
5. /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
6. /mnt/external_sd/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
7. /mnt/SDCard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
where the ../files folder is located in the microSD filing system as follows:
/Android
/data
/com.reidit.myapp
/files
Whenever I try to install my app on a different Android tablet, I have to go
hunting for the exact filing system for the 1st part of the microSD:
/mnt/<unknown>/
The tail of /Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files seems to be consistent. It
seems that the only variable is the <unknown> part.
However, I have 2 tablets (Android 5.1 and Android 8.1) where I haven't been
able to locate the microSD card at all!
Any suggestions about how to reliably locate the microSD card in an Android
tablet?
