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?

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
