Question

The official method Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() seems to be not working on Samsung devices…

It return “/sdcard/” but not the real path “/sdcard/external_sd/”, you could refer to the following post

Android SD Card Characteristics on Samsung Galaxy

Is there another methods to detect the external real storage path and suitable for all devices ?? or just teach me how to avoid this issue ??

Thanks.

Could you not try something like:

  String url = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
  if(android.os.Build.DEVICE.contains("Samsung") || android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER.contains("Samsung")){
            url = url + "/external_sd/";
  }
