Android open external storage directory(sdcard) for storing file
I want to open external storage directory path for saving file programatically.I tried but not getting sdcard path. How can i do this?is there any solution for this??
private File path = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) + "");
or
private File path = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "");
I tried getting path from above both methods but both are pointing internal memory.
When we open storage memory if sdcard is peresent it will shows like below-
device storage & sd memory card.
I want to get sd memory path through coding. I have given permissions in manifest-
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

I've been having the exact same problem
To get the internal SD card you can use
String extStore = System.getenv("EXTERNAL_STORAGE");
File f_exts = new File(extStore);
To get the external SD card you can use
String secStore = System.getenv("SECONDARY_STORAGE");
File f_secs = new File(secStore);
On running the code
extStore = "/storage/emulated/legacy"
secStore = "/storage/extSdCarcd"
works perfectly!
