Question

i’m using the standard method for reading files stored on the sdcard:

public static Bitmap loadImage( String imageName ){
        File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();          
        BitmapFactory.Options opt = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        opt.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.RGB_565;
        Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(root+"/magazine/lowres/"+imageName+".jpg", opt);               
        return image;
    }

The image is on that directory, but i’m getting this excepction:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/sdcard/magazine/lowres/1.jpg (No such file or directory)

What i’m doing wrong?

SOLVED:

Samsung Galaxy Tab has a good amount of internal flash memory. So Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns /mnt/sdcard/ but this is actually the internal storage. The real external storage is in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.
