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

This code snippet might be of use for you to detect and deal with the exception of Samsung devices:

public static String getExternalStorage() {

    String str = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
    if ( isSamsungDevice() ) {
        if ( isSamsungExternalSDMounted() ) {
            str += "/external_sd";
        }
    }
    return str;
}

private static boolean isSamsungDevice() {

    return new File( Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/external_sd" ).exists();
}

private static boolean isSamsungExternalSDMounted() {

    return exec( "mount" ).indexOf( "external_sd" ) >= 0;
}

public static String exec( String paramString ) {

    try {
        String str = "";
        InputStream localInputStream = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( paramString ).getInputStream();
        byte[] arrayOfByte = new byte[1024];
        StringBuilder localStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        while ( true ) {

            int i = localInputStream.read( arrayOfByte, 0, arrayOfByte.length );
            if ( i == -1 ) {
                str = localStringBuilder.toString();
                break;
            }

            localStringBuilder.append( new String( arrayOfByte, 0, i ) );
        }

        return str;
    } catch ( IOException e ) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}
