I have tried almost all solutions to get list of storage paths including How can I get external SD card path for Android 4.0+?. But nothing returns the removable sd card path.
And finally I tried with "/mnt/". This returns all storage paths including some other paths also. But I want only storage paths. How could I achieve this?. Is there any way to detect whether the given path is storage path, or is there any better way to get all storage paths in Android.
You can use this class for getting all available storage on Android Phone.
This code is taken from stackoverflow.com but contains some error. I remove the error and this code tested in Android 6 and Android 7.
public class StorageUtils {
private static final String TAG = "StorageUtils";
public static class StorageInfo {
public final String path;
public final boolean readonly;
public final boolean removable;
public final int number;
StorageInfo(String path, boolean readonly, boolean removable, int number) {
this.path = path;
this.readonly = readonly;
this.removable = removable;
this.number = number;
}
public String getDisplayName() {
StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
if (!removable) {
res.append("Internal Storage");
} else if (number > 1) {
res.append("SD card " + number);
} else {
res.append("SD card");
}
if (readonly) {
res.append(" (Read only)");
}
return res.toString();
}
}
public static List<StorageInfo> getStorageList() {
List<StorageInfo> list = new ArrayList<StorageInfo>();
String def_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
boolean def_path_removable = Environment.isExternalStorageRemovable();
String def_path_state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
boolean def_path_available = def_path_state.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)
|| def_path_state.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY);
boolean def_path_readonly = Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY);
HashSet<String> paths = new HashSet<String>();
int cur_removable_number = 1;
if (def_path_available) {
paths.add(def_path);
list.add(0, new StorageInfo(def_path, def_path_readonly, def_path_removable, def_path_removable ? cur_removable_number++ : -1));
}

try {
buf_reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/proc/mounts"));
String line;
while ((line = buf_reader.readLine()) != null) {
if (line.contains("vfat") || line.contains("/mnt") || line.contains("sdcardfs")) {
Log.d(TAG, line);
StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(line, " ");
String mPath = tokens.nextToken(); //device
String mount_point = tokens.nextToken(); //mount point
if (paths.contains(mount_point)) {

Hope this help.

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 = "";
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) {

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.

Example usage
Map <String, File> externalLocations = ExternalStorage.getAllStorageLocations();
File sdCard = externalLocations.get(ExternalStorage.SD_CARD);
File externalSdCard=externalLocations.get(ExternalStorage.EXTERNAL_SD_CARD);
on some device like Samsung Galaxy S3 it detects External SdCard correctly and return /storage/extSdCard for path to the External SdCard but on other devices like Sony Experia Z1 and Z2 it can't detect External Sdcard and give me the path to the Internal Storage. How can I solve this problem?

}
Then
final DiskHelper sdDiskHelper = new DiskHelper(DiskHelper.MODE_EXTERNAL_SD);
path = sdDiskHelper.getPath();
You can customize this class.
String secStore = System.getenv("SECONDARY_STORAGE");
File externalsdpath = new File(secStore);
This will get the path of external sd secondary storage.
Though i got so many post but problem is that
it return true if phone has inbuild storage.

I have a device info app on Google Play, and within the app I have storage information. I know in Android 4.4 there has been some changes in regards to accessing external SDcards. Internal doesn't seem to give me a problem. My question is, how can I reliably get the size of SDcards on KitKat?
I have the required permissions listed, as this worked fine on earlier versions of Android. I have searched here on SO, and I always seem to get one of the same errors. I do not need to write to SDcards, only read for size availabilty.
I have a StorageUtils class that came from SO, sorry I can't remember the link.

This results in the EACCES error, or an invalid path (access denied) on KitKat. Please help, and thank you greatly for your time.
You can find all shared storage devices by calling Context.getExternalFilesDirs() or Context.getExternalCacheDirs(). Then, you can call File.getUsableSpace() or use android.os.StatFs to check available disk space at each location.
These APIs are also available in ContextCompat in the support library to seamlessly work on pre-KitKat devices.
