specialFolderPath("external")
Is there an equilivant special folder path in live code for external storage?
i.e.
mnt/sd card/
mnt/sd card1/
mnt/sd card2/
Someone had a huge huge list of folder paths but can't seem to find the link.
I can't seem to find the sd card folder on android:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "checking for folder /sdcard/" into field txtDisplayResult
if there is a folder "/mnt/sdcard" then
put "/mnt/sdcard - exists" into field txtDisplayResult
end if
if there is a folder "mnt/sdcard" then
put "mnt/sdcard - exists" into field txtDisplayResult
end if
if there is a folder "/sdcard" then
put "/sdcard - exists" into field txtDisplayResult
end if
if there is a folder "/sdcard" then
put "sdcard - exists" into field txtDisplayResult
end if
put "checking for folder /sdcard/" into field txtDisplayResult
if there is a folder "/sdcard/" then
put "sdcard - exists" into field txtDisplayResult
end if
open file "/sdcard/Barry.txt" for text read
read from file "/sdcard/Barry.txt" until EOF
put it into field txtDisplayResult
close file "/sdcard/Barry.txt"
end mouseUp

end if
if there is a folder "mnt/sdcard" then
put cr & "mnt/sdcard - exists" after field txtDisplayResult
end if
if there is a folder "/sdcard" then
put cr & "sdcard - exists" after field txtDisplayResult
end if
if there is a folder "/sdcard/" then
put cr & "/sdcard/ - exists" after field txtDisplayResult
end if
put cr & "checking for folder /mnt/storage/" after field txtDisplayResult
if there is a folder "/mnt/storage/" then
put cr & " /mnt/storage/ - exists" after field txtDisplayResult
end if

You may be thinking of this link:
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revo ... ile010.htm but that doesn't include mobile paths.
The Android release notes suggest: A standard approach to this is to store the desired file on the SD card (/sdcard/). If you app is writing to an external location, have the “Write External Storage” option ticked in the standalone builder.
What did your test script say about the paths?

Hi jacque,
The first verions on my script in the original post kept replacing/overlaying the previous message.
SO I would only see blanks thinking it wan't working. (5.30am itus)
The second version is working correctly.
As usual as soon as I post a question I find the answer within 5 mins.
Maybe I use the post as a process purge so I can start thinking properly.
...
/mnt/sdcard - exists
.mnt/sdcard - exists
sdcard - exists
/sd/card/ - exists
...
my Barry.txt info display correctly
I'd be interested in seeing the results of other Android phones and tablets.
I was just reading here to elsewhere that some adroid tablets have
an EXternal storage card
AND
an INternal storage card.

Hi mwieder,
I refuse to use dos apps or terminal apps, etc.
It's criminal
that we can't do whatever dos apps do
in a proper modern graphical environment.

I, for know the default folders on Android I use mergStoragePath, a command of mergAndroid external. Unfortunately for pictures it points only on SD Card so no way to know the Pictures folder of internal storage. I know very little on Android, so maybe there is not any Pictures folder on Android internal storage...
BTW, is there a way to know if there is a SD Card available?

Opera browser and many other "big" software on Android point always directly to "/mnt/sdcard" (without spaces). Android 4 usually emulates that position if a sdcard is missing.
