Re: [android-developers] Re: Approved/recommended/best way to write to GENUINE external storage

Hi,

Thanks for the reply; my problem with this approach is that presenting
most users with a list consisting of:

/mnt/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard2

or some permutation thereof is not exactly friendly, and would lead to
them probably wanting to as 'what is stored on X, if you tell me that, I
can tell you if it's the one...'. Which is a whole new rabbit burrow,
potentially replicated in every app that just wants a
getRemovableStorage() api call.

That's probably it: can anyone think how to write:

getRemovableStorage() - Returns a list of removable storage devices
connected to this device.

?
