I want to get the list of all Storage Devices which are connected to the Android device.
For eg- Internal Storage(Storage in which all the folders such as Downloads, DCIM etc are present), SD Card and OTG device.
I Know there are a lot of StackOverflow posts which discuss this topic but none of them could serve my purpose as stated above.
I am able to get the Internal Storage by calling Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() which return the path to the Internal Storage.
Any help on this would be really grateful as there is no standard AFAIK using which the list of all the connected Storage devices can be retrieved.
Also, many solutions do not work on different devices and Android version.
You can create one class EnvironmentSDCardCheck

and then you can use it to check sd card or Usb or unknown is presently connected or not with device
This way you can get the connected sd card, usb, etc.
private boolean checkSdCardPermission() {
boolean flag = false;
try {
EnvironmentSDCard.Device[] devices = EnvironmentSDCard.getExternalStorage(MainActivity.this);
for (EnvironmentSDCard.Device d : devices) {
if (d.getType().equals(EnvironmentSDCard.TYPE_SD) || d.getType().contains(EnvironmentSDCard.TYPE_UNKNOWN) || d.getType().contains(EnvironmentSDCard.TYPE_USB)) {
flag = d.isAvailable();
if (flag)
break;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return flag;
}
