Consider the above picture. It shows the folders and file in internal storage. My problem is i am not able to get the absolute path of the internal storage. I Have tried using
String path = getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
but it is giving me the path of my app storage. My objective is to backup a file from the private storage of my app to the top of internal storage. And i am unable to find a solution on web and neither on stack overflow. Suggest a solution to this problem!
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
Return the primary shared/external storage directory.
Note: don't be confused by the word "external" here. This directory can better be thought as media/shared storage. It is a filesystem that can hold a relatively large amount of data and that is shared across all applications (does not enforce permissions). Traditionally this is an SD card, but it may also be implemented as built-in storage in a device that is distinct from the protected internal storage and can be mounted as a filesystem on a computer.
File dir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
String path = dir.getAbsolutePath();
