I already found out how to get all storages with either of these answers: with proc/mounts and with mount command, but now I want to put a name on the paths returned. I have no problem with Internal Storage, however these methods can't distinguish between a SD card and a USB stick. If it sees two drives connected how can I be sure which one is the SD Card and which is the USB, or are they two SD Cards? Or two USB drives?
I found part of the solution, however I won't get any farther because it's getting complicated and this is not the main feature of my app anyway.
public static class Storage extends File {
public static final int INTERNAL_STORAGE = 1;
public static final int SD_CARD = 2;
public static final int USB_DRIVE = 3;
public String name;
public int type;
public Storage(String path, String name, int type) {
super(path);
this.name = name;
this.type = type;
}
}
public static ArrayList<Storage> getStorages(Context context) {
ArrayList<Storage> storages = new ArrayList<>();
// Internal storage
storages.add(new Storage(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath(),
"Internal Storage", Storage.INTERNAL_STORAGE));
// SD Cards
ArrayList<File> extStorages = new ArrayList<>();
extStorages.addAll(Arrays.asList(context.getExternalFilesDirs(null)));
extStorages.remove(0); // Remove internal storage
String secondaryStoragePath = System.getenv("SECONDARY_STORAGE");
for (int i = 0; i < extStorages.size(); i++) {
String path = extStorages.get(i).getPath().split("/Android")[0];
if (Environment.isExternalStorageRemovable(extStorages.get(i)) || secondaryStoragePath != null && secondaryStoragePath.contains(path)) {
String name = "SD Card" + (i == 0 ? "" : " " + String.valueOf(i+1));
storages.add(new Storage(path, name, Storage.SD_CARD));
}
}
// USB Drives
ArrayList<String> drives = new ArrayList<>();
String reg = "(?i).*vold.*(vfat|ntfs|exfat|fat32|ext3|ext4).*rw.*";
String s = "";
try {
final Process process = new ProcessBuilder().command("mount")
.redirectErrorStream(true).start();
process.waitFor();
final InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
final byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while (is.read(buffer) != -1) {
s += new String(buffer);
}
is.close();
} catch (final Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
final String[] lines = s.split("\n");
for (String line : lines) {
if (!line.toLowerCase(Locale.US).contains("asec") && line.matches(reg)) {
String[] parts = line.split(" ");
for (String path : parts) {
if (path.startsWith(File.separator) && !path.toLowerCase(Locale.US).contains("vold")) {
drives.add(path);
}
}
}
}
// Remove SD Cards from found drives (already found)
ArrayList<String> ids = new ArrayList<>();
for (Storage st : storages) {
String[] parts = st.getPath().split(File.separator);
ids.add(parts[parts.length-1]);
}
for (int i = drives.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
String[] parts = drives.get(i).split(File.separator);
String id = parts[parts.length-1];
if (ids.contains(id)) drives.remove(i);
}
// Get USB Drive name
UsbManager usbManager = (UsbManager) context.getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
Collection<UsbDevice> dList = usbManager.getDeviceList().values();
ArrayList<UsbDevice> deviceList = new ArrayList<>();
deviceList.addAll(dList);
for (int i = 0; i < deviceList.size(); i++) {
storages.add(new Storage(drives.get(i), deviceList.get(i).getProductName(), Storage.USB_DRIVE));
}
return storages;
}
Find internal storage
Find all SD Cards
Find all external drives, then remove SD Cards from them, because they were already found. The point of this is to separate SD Cards from USB devices.
I didn't test this with any other device than mine, it won't likely work for every device. Also it is possible that keyboards or mouses counts as connected devices and that will screw up the whole thing.

File[] fs = this.getExternalFilesDirs(null);
String extPath = "";

extPath = fs[1].getAbsolutePath();
Toast.makeText(this, ""+extPath, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

I use this piece of code but I'm not getting the answer.
I found the solution for this over here https://stackoverflow.com/a/13648873/842607
The code is -
public static HashSet<String> getExternalMounts() {
final HashSet<String> out = new HashSet<String>();
String reg = "(?i).*vold.*(vfat|ntfs|exfat|fat32|ext3|ext4).*rw.*";
String s = "";

final Process process = new ProcessBuilder().command("mount")
.redirectErrorStream(true).start();
process.waitFor();
final InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
final byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while (is.read(buffer) != -1) {
s = s + new String(buffer);
}
is.close();
} catch (final Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// parse output
final String[] lines = s.split("\n");
for (String line : lines) {
if (!line.toLowerCase(Locale.US).contains("asec")) {
if (line.matches(reg)) {
String[] parts = line.split(" ");
for (String part : parts) {
if (part.startsWith("/"))
if (!part.toLowerCase(Locale.US).contains("vold"))
out.add(part);
}
}
}
}
return out;
}

I've been trying to get access to Internal and External SD Card in android. I've tried many codes available in StackOverFlow but doesn't work on most or all Android versions. Then, I found two solutions. One which works on Kitkat & above, another one which works on lower than Kitkat. I tried to merge both of them and it works!
If anyone has better solution than this, please share.
These two answers are what I merged to get it working.
How to get SD_Card path in android6.0 programmatically
Find an external SD card location
Here's the solution,
Add this line of code in AndroidManifest.xml to get permission from Android to read external storages.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Now, add this class to your project.
public class StoragePath {
File[] getExternalFilesDirs;
/**
* Constructor for KitKat & above
* #param getExternalFilesDirs
*/
public StoragePath(File[] getExternalFilesDirs) {
this.getExternalFilesDirs = getExternalFilesDirs;
}
/**
* Constructor for lower than Kitkat
*
*/
public StoragePath() {
}
public String[] getDeviceStorages() {
List<String> results = new ArrayList<>();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) { //Method 1 for KitKat & above
File[] externalDirs = getExternalFilesDirs;
for (File file : externalDirs) {
String path = file.getPath().split("/Android")[0];
boolean addPath = false;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
addPath = Environment.isExternalStorageRemovable(file);
} else {
addPath = Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(EnvironmentCompat.getStorageState(file));
}
if (addPath) {
results.add(path);
}
}
}
if (results.isEmpty()) { //Method 2 for all versions
final List<String> out = new ArrayList<>();
String reg = "(?i).*vold.*(vfat|ntfs|exfat|fat32|ext3|ext4).*rw.*";
String s = "";
try {
final Process process = new ProcessBuilder().command("mount")
.redirectErrorStream(true).start();
process.waitFor();
final InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
final byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while (is.read(buffer) != -1) {
s = s + new String(buffer);
}
is.close();
} catch (final Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// parse output
final String[] lines = s.split("\n");
for (String line : lines) {
if (!line.toLowerCase(Locale.US).contains("asec")) {
if (line.matches(reg)) {
String[] parts = line.split(" ");
for (String part : parts) {
if (part.startsWith("/"))
if (!part.toLowerCase(Locale.US).contains("vold"))
out.add(part);
}
}
}
}
results.addAll(out);
}
//Below few lines is to remove paths which may not be external memory card, like OTG (feel free to comment them out)
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
for (int i = 0; i < results.size(); i++) {
if (!results.get(i).toLowerCase().matches(".*[0-9a-f]{4}[-][0-9a-f]{4}")) {
Log.d("Tag", results.get(i) + " might not be extSDcard");
results.remove(i--);
}
}
} else {
for (int i = 0; i < results.size(); i++) {
if (!results.get(i).toLowerCase().contains("ext") && !results.get(i).toLowerCase().contains("sdcard")) {
Log.d("Tag", results.get(i) + " might not be extSDcard");
results.remove(i--);
}
}
}
//Get path to the Internal Storage aka ExternalStorageDirectory
final String internalStoragePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
results.add(0, internalStoragePath);
String[] storageDirectories = new String[results.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < results.size(); ++i) storageDirectories[i] = results.get(i);
return storageDirectories;
}
}
Now to use this class,
StoragePath storagePath;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
storagePath = new StoragePath(getExternalFilesDirs(null));
}else {
storagePath = new StoragePath();
}
String[] storages;
storages = storagePath.getDeviceStorages();
String array storages now contains the path of the storages.
I used to get all the files in USB/SD Card from "/storage/external_storage" like so
File = new File("/storage/external_storage");
file.listFiles()
and show the files and folders in my own Fragment and it worked great until API 23. Where now I am unable to get the file list from the path.
I know in Android Marshmallow (23) there were permission changes and some USB Connection behavior changes.
If your app supports user interactions with the device over a USB port, take into consideration that the interaction must be explicitly enabled.
Does not explain how or when user can enable interactions explicitly.
My question is whether or not it is possible to Access USB files and Folders list.
If there is how can we achieve this?
EDIT : I opened Android Device Monitor and I couldn't find external_storage in /storage/external_storage.
It is true the doc is not very clear about that....but it seems you have to ask the system to mount the media device for you. Can you try to use
Environment.getExternalStorageState() to see what it returns you?
Otherwise, you can also try to access the SD/External USB by using this class:
public class ExternalStorage {
public static final String SD_CARD = "sdCard";
public static final String EXTERNAL_SD_CARD = "externalSdCard";
/**
* #return True if the external storage is available. False otherwise.
*/
public static boolean isAvailable() {
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state) || Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(state)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public static String getSdCardPath() {
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/";
}
/**
* #return True if the external storage is writable. False otherwise.
*/
public static boolean isWritable() {
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
/**
* #return A map of all storage locations available
*/
public static Map<String, File> getAllStorageLocations() {
Map<String, File> map = new HashMap<String, File>(10);
List<String> mMounts = new ArrayList<String>(10);
List<String> mVold = new ArrayList<String>(10);
mMounts.add("/mnt/sdcard");
mVold.add("/mnt/sdcard");
try {
File mountFile = new File("/proc/mounts");
if(mountFile.exists()){
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(mountFile);
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
String line = scanner.nextLine();
if (line.startsWith("/dev/block/vold/")) {
String[] lineElements = line.split(" ");
String element = lineElements[1];
// don't add the default mount path
// it's already in the list.
if (!element.equals("/mnt/sdcard"))
mMounts.add(element);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
File voldFile = new File("/system/etc/vold.fstab");
if(voldFile.exists()){
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(voldFile);
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
String line = scanner.nextLine();
if (line.startsWith("dev_mount")) {
String[] lineElements = line.split(" ");
String element = lineElements[2];
if (element.contains(":"))
element = element.substring(0, element.indexOf(":"));
if (!element.equals("/mnt/sdcard"))
mVold.add(element);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
for (int i = 0; i < mMounts.size(); i++) {
String mount = mMounts.get(i);
if (!mVold.contains(mount))
mMounts.remove(i--);
}
mVold.clear();
List<String> mountHash = new ArrayList<String>(10);
for(String mount : mMounts){
File root = new File(mount);
if (root.exists() && root.isDirectory() && root.canWrite()) {
File[] list = root.listFiles();
String hash = "[";
if(list!=null){
for(File f : list){
hash += f.getName().hashCode()+":"+f.length()+", ";
}
}
hash += "]";
if(!mountHash.contains(hash)){
String key = SD_CARD + "_" + map.size();
if (map.size() == 0) {
key = SD_CARD;
} else if (map.size() == 1) {
key = EXTERNAL_SD_CARD;
}
mountHash.add(hash);
map.put(key, root);
}
}
}
mMounts.clear();
if(map.isEmpty()){
map.put(SD_CARD, Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory());
}
return map;
}
}
The use is like this:
Map<String, File> externalLocations = ExternalStorage.getAllStorageLocations();
File sdCard = externalLocations.get(ExternalStorage.SD_CARD);
File externalSdCard = externalLocations.get(ExternalStorage.EXTERNAL_SD_CARD);
Source here: Find an external SD card location
Have a look at getExternalFilesDirs().
If a micro SD card is inserted the second entry will point to the card.
If you then attach a USB OTG drive the third entry will point to the drive.
With Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE you can let the user choose from all drives and then use Storage Access Framework.
I am trying to check whether device having external storage or not by using external storage path like this given below
if (new File("/ext_card/").exists()) {
specialPath = "/ext_card/";
} else if (new File("/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/").exists()) {
specialPath = "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/";
} else if (new File("/storage/extSdCard/").exists()) {
specialPath = "/storage/extSdCard/";
} else if (new File("/mnt/extSdCard/").exists()) {
specialPath = "/mnt/extSdCard/";
} else if (new File("/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/").exists()) {
specialPath = "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/";
} else if (new File("storage/sdcard1/").exists()) {
specialPath = "storage/sdcard1/";
}
But in marshmallow I con't find this path and while checking using ES FILEMANAGER, they give like storage/3263-3131 in Moto G 3rd generation. While check in other marshmallow devices that numbers getting differ. Please help me to check that marshmallow device have external storage or not? and if storage found means how to get the path of that external storage?
Note:- I gave permission for storage in my application and also enabled storage permission in settings for my app.
Thanks in advance and did you find any mistake in my question please crt it. thank you again.
Here's my solution, which is guaranteed to work till Android 7.0 Nougat:
/* returns external storage paths (directory of external memory card) as array of Strings */
public String[] getExternalStorageDirectories() {
List<String> results = new ArrayList<>();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) { //Method 1 for KitKat & above
File[] externalDirs = getExternalFilesDirs(null);
String internalRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toLowerCase();
for (File file : externalDirs) {
if(file==null) //solved NPE on some Lollipop devices
continue;
String path = file.getPath().split("/Android")[0];
if(path.toLowerCase().startsWith(internalRoot))
continue;
boolean addPath = false;
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
addPath = Environment.isExternalStorageRemovable(file);
}
else{
addPath = Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(EnvironmentCompat.getStorageState(file));
}
if(addPath){
results.add(path);

if(!output.trim().isEmpty()) {

}
}
//Below few lines is to remove paths which may not be external memory card, like OTG (feel free to comment them out)
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {

}
}
String[] storageDirectories = new String[results.size()];
for(int i=0; i<results.size(); ++i) storageDirectories[i] = results.get(i);
return storageDirectories;
}
I found the solution for this over here https://stackoverflow.com/a/13648873/842607
The code is -
public static HashSet<String> getExternalMounts() {
final HashSet<String> out = new HashSet<String>();
String reg = "(?i).*vold.*(vfat|ntfs|exfat|fat32|ext3|ext4).*rw.*";
String s = "";
try {
final Process process = new ProcessBuilder().command("mount")
.redirectErrorStream(true).start();
process.waitFor();
final InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
final byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while (is.read(buffer) != -1) {
s = s + new String(buffer);
}
is.close();
} catch (final Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// parse output
final String[] lines = s.split("\n");
for (String line : lines) {
if (!line.toLowerCase(Locale.US).contains("asec")) {
if (line.matches(reg)) {
String[] parts = line.split(" ");

in this i have redmi note prime 2.and i have no memory card.so when i found path and File[] externalDirs = getExternalFilesDirs(null); give null second postion value of file[].
}
Is there any method to get /storage/ directory. I tried with Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() but it returns /storage/emulated/0 i know i can use file.getParent() but for some reason i cant use that. I just want a straight path to /storage/ directory using some function... Thanks in advance.
You can't and should not access that directory normally. But it seems you need more control on storage locations are available to your device.
For that you can use this,
public List<String> getStorageDirectories() {
// Final set of paths
final ArrayList<String> finalPaths = new ArrayList<String>();
// Must add the ROOT directory
finalPaths.add("/");
// Primary physical SD-CARD (not emulated)
final String rawExternalStorage = System.getenv("EXTERNAL_STORAGE");
// All Secondary SD-CARDs (all exclude primary) separated by ":"
final String rawSecondaryStoragesStr = System.getenv("SECONDARY_STORAGE");
// Primary emulated SD-CARD
final String rawEmulatedStorageTarget = System.getenv("EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET");
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(rawEmulatedStorageTarget)) {
// Device has physical external storage; use plain paths.
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(rawExternalStorage)) {
// EXTERNAL_STORAGE undefined; falling back to default.
finalPaths.add("/storage/sdcard0");
} else {
finalPaths.add(rawExternalStorage);
}
} else {
// Device has emulated storage; external storage paths should have
// userId burned into them.
final String rawUserId;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
rawUserId = "";
} else {
final String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
final String[] folders = DIR_SEPARATOR.split(path);
final String lastFolder = folders[folders.length - 1];
boolean isDigit = false;
try {
Integer.valueOf(lastFolder);
isDigit = true;
} catch (NumberFormatException ignored) {
}
rawUserId = isDigit ? lastFolder : "";
}
// /storage/emulated/0[1,2,...]
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(rawUserId)) {
finalPaths.add(rawEmulatedStorageTarget);
} else {
finalPaths.add(rawEmulatedStorageTarget + File.separator + rawUserId);
}
}
// Add all secondary storages
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(rawSecondaryStoragesStr)) {
// All Secondary SD-CARDs splited into array
final String[] rawSecondaryStorages = rawSecondaryStoragesStr.split(File.pathSeparator);
Collections.addAll(finalPaths, rawSecondaryStorages);
}
File usb = getUsbDrive();
if (usb != null && !finalPaths.contains(usb.getPath()))
finalPaths.add(usb.getPath());
return finalPaths;
}
And here is the method to get the USB drive attached to your device,
public File getUsbDrive() {
File parent;
parent = new File("/storage");
try {
for (File f : parent.listFiles()) {
if (f.exists() && f.getName().toLowerCase().contains("usb") && f.canExecute()) {
return f;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
parent = new File("/mnt/sdcard/usbStorage");
if (parent.exists() && parent.canExecute())
return (parent);
parent = new File("/mnt/sdcard/usb_storage");
if (parent.exists() && parent.canExecute())
return parent;
return null;
}
But remember that this is not an official way but a hack, so use it at your own risk.
