How to get emulated storage path on Android 6?

Question

I want to get the emulated storage path. System.getenv("EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET") works on previous versions ie Android 5 and below but returns null on Android 6. I searched on google but couldn't find anything. How can I get the emulated storage path on Android 6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

You appear to be referring to external storage , which on some versions of Android will be located at /storage/emulated/0/ . The proper way to obtain the root of external storage, on all versions of Android, is by means of Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() .

If you find yourself using environment variables in an Android app, you are doing it wrong.
