Check if the SD card is present

Hi guys,

Sometimes we need to know whether an SD card is present or not. So here is a check to see if an SD card is present. It returns true if the SD card is present and writable, false otherwise.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

public static boolean isSdPresent() {
 
return android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED);
 
}
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

This seems to be working on the emulator. If someone could verify on the G1 we are sure.

Thanks to Avolovoy for pointing me in the right direction!

that should work, but i'd use something like that
if (android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals("mounted"))

That obviously is a LOT better .... thanks!

I'll edit it in to the SP

Hold on .. i think the right way is call getExternalStorageState() on environment.

if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(
android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
Works on the device just fine.
