android scanning all .mp3 files in SD Card

Question

Answer 1

The problem is with what android consider as external storage. It is not always the sd card that you add to your device. the internal memory can also be external storage. /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard is the same location and it may point to your internal storage. so you have to scan the /mnt folder completely. like in some device /mnt/sdcard will be internal memory and /mnt/extSdCard will be the one you have added. File home = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); this method will return the first external storage and not all.
