Question

I have added <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> to Manifest but I still get “SDcard mounted RO” when executing the below code. What am I doing wrong here?

    if(!extState.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
        Log.d(Tag.getTag(this),
                ("SDcard not mounted"));
    }
    else if (!extState.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY)) {
        Log.d(Tag.getTag(this),
                ("SDcard mounted RO"));
    }
    else {
        Log.d(Tag.getTag(this),
                ("SDcard mounted RW"));
    }

Your code logic seems to be wrong?

if(!extState.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
    Log.d(Tag.getTag(this),
            ("SDcard not mounted"));
}
else ...

“Not equal to MEDIA_MOUNTED” could be “mounted_ro” or “not mounted”…

Anyway, you should change to …

if(extState.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
    Log.d(Tag.getTag(this),
            ("SDcard mounted RW"));

}
else if (extState.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY)) {
    Log.d(Tag.getTag(this),
            ("SDcard mounted RO"));
}
else {
    Log.d(Tag.getTag(this),
            ("SDcard not mounted"));
}
