Starting from KitKat, you have access to a method to get that directory :
JavaScript
x
Context.getExternalFilesDirs()Note that it may return null if the SD card is not mounted or moved during the access. Also, you might need to add these permissions to your manifest file :
JavaScript
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />Apparently some users had trouble with this method, not returning the SD card path. I found some useful informations on how it can works and how it can not depending on the device on this post.
