I saw the statement somewhere that allows one to read/write to the SD card.
I can't seem to find it now.
Help Please!

I just figured out that Google doesn't allow it.

Hi Tom,
Not sure that is true, a long time ago I made an app that played a video from the sdcard. I think that means write as well.
Found it, yes here is the start of the path "mnt/sdcard/" the subfolders are available to you.

Edit: In thinking about it this may only apply to external sdcards (the kind you buy separately and install). I've noticed on my device without external memory still calls the internal memory sdcard.

If there is a sdcard installed and accessible on Android it will be /mnt/sdcard or /scard depending on the Android Version you are using. This is what their specs say. It works for me on a Samsung Galaxy tablet.
Code: Select all
if there is a folder "/sdcard" then
set the defaultFolder to "/sdcard"
else
set the defaultFolder to "/mnt/sdcard"
end if
Kind regards,
Chris
