Is "mnt/sdcard" always the external storage in Android?


In all the devices I have had the sd card has always been mounted on the path /mnt/sdcard (this value is also returned by the function Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath())

Can I consider it as a constant or are there cases in which it is different?


Solution

  • On samsung galaxy s2 /sdcard is phone external memory. micro sd is under /sdcard/external_sd
