How can I get the external SD card path for Android 4.0+?

Question

Samsung Galaxy S3 has an external SD card slot, which is mounted to /mnt/extSdCard.

How can I get this path by something like Environment.getExter

Answer 1

System.getenv("SECONDARY_STORAGE") returns null for Marshmallow. This is another way of finding all the externals dirs. You can check if it's removable which determines if internal/external

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    File[] externalCacheDirs = context.getExternalCacheDirs();
    for (File file : externalCacheDirs) {
        if (Environment.isExternalStorageRemovable(file)) {
            // It's a removable storage
        }
    }
}
