I am currently developing an Android Application, that will open and save .txt files. In order to make it easy to read external .txt files i want to make sure, that they are saved in the app's folder on the SD-Card. Unfortunately i am only able to access /storage/emulated/0.
I already tried 2 different possibilites:
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
getExternalFilesDir("MyFileStorage")
They both lead to /storage/emulated/0 on the internal storage. Does anyone know how i can access the app's folder on the SD Card of my Smartphone (USB-Debugging).
Apps don't come with a folder on the external storage by default. You will need to create a folder for your app like this:
String folder_main = "YourAppName";
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), folder_main);
if (!f.exists()) {
f.mkdirs();
}
Remember that you need to add the permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
to your AndroidManifest.xml
to access the SD card (and use the permissions model introduced in Android 6.0 for newer devices).
that they are saved in the app's folder on the SD-Card
By default, apps do not have a directory on removable storage .
On Android 4.4+, you are welcome to use getExternalFilesDirs()
(note the s
on the end). If this returns a list with 2+ entries, the first one will be on external storage, and the others will be on removable storage.

Those point to what the Android SDK refers to as external storage .
