Moving files from sdCard to flash memory in android?



I am working on an app which needs to move the files from sdcard to the flash memory .The problem is that both the flash memory and sdcard is detected by :







(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())







So I cant detect whether sdcard is inserted or not . Has anyone came across the same problem please help ?





I am using Archos 7 home tablet eclair. I need to know how can I get the path for the flash memory and sdcard.

  1. What do you mean by:


    both the flash memory and sdcard is detected by:
    (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())


    To detect whether the external storage is available, use:

    if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment.getExternalStorageState())) {
    // External storage is available
    } else {
    // External storage is NOT available
    }


    You can also use Environment.isExternalStorageRemovable() (watch out, Android 2.3+ only) to check whether the device has a removable SD card or a builtin one (such as the Nexus S).

    Does this solve your problem?

Wildcards in a hosts file

I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
