Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC) is readonly

I try to recive from android the public music directory by:

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC);

At my android 4.2 device it's /storage/emulated/0/Music and works well.

At android 5.0.1 device it's /storage/sdcard0/Music and readonly.

Why? I know that at 4.4 was restricted to write to the internal memory but it is public director, isn't it?

Solution

  • Problem was that device sequrity politic is prevent access to Music directory to non system signed applications by emulated/0/Music (emulated file system). Can access to it by /data/0
