Check if the SDCard is present, boolean is always true

Question

In my splash screen, I want to check if the phone has a SDCard. The Boolean statement is beneath:

    Boolean isSDPresent = android.os.Environment.getExterna         


        

Answer 1

Shouldn't it be:

boolean isPresent = Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(
   Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED
);

As the documentation states for Environment.getExternalStorageState():

Gets the current state of the primary "external" storage device.

And for the Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED-constant:

getExternalStorageState() returns MEDIA_MOUNTED if the media is present and mounted at its mount point with read/write access.

And this will work from API Level 1+
