Android devices with Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()!= /mnt/sdcard/?

No. I haven't seen any devices with sdcard mounted to different location. And I've played with more then 10 different devices from most popular vendors Having said that, you shouldn't rely on this fact.

Especially if you have such an easy way to get path to External storage.

1 Thanks, this is what I thought. Of course we should use safe code because any vendor can introduce a device with a different mount point anytime. – Giulio Prisco Jun 2 at 7:18.

Actually, some for some devices the getExternalStorageDirectory() will return localization for internal memory (internal SD card). The removable SD card is located as mount point below, usually getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/sd" or getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/external_sd". Unfortunately, there is no standard for this and you won't know what kind of storage you are pointing at.

I had a user of one of my apps report this, he was using Andy 2.2 IIRC but I can't remember what device he was using. The path can be found using Environment. GetExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() I think the path my user got was /sdcard & not /mnt/sdcard like my HTC phone does.

Normally /sdcard/ is a link to /mnt/sdcard/ (which is an actual mounting point, you can check that if you run the mount command from adb shell) – inazaruk Jun 1 at 17:27 Thats what I thought, cant remember why it didn't resolve it. – daveD Jun 1 at 17:32.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
