WTF! Galaxy S6

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(DIRECTORY_MOVIES) returns "/storage/emulated/0/Movies" on Galaxy S6 (SC-04G 5.0.2)

$ adb shell ls /storage/emulated/0/Movies
/storage/emulated/0/Movies: No such file or directory

$ adb shell ls -l /storage/emulated
lrwxrwxrwx root     root              2015-06-25 15:01 legacy -> /mnt/shell/emulated/0

$ adb shell mkdir /storage/emulated/0/Movies
mkdir failed for /storage/emulated/0/Movies, No such file or directory

So.
Exception when calling MediaPlayer.setDataSource(FileDescriptor) method (failed.: status=0x80000000)

Since android added multi-user support, the sdcard is a really weird beast as permissions aren't mapped cleanly to linux users & groups.

https://source.android.com/devices/storage/

... synthesized permissions are accomplished by wrapping raw storage devices in a FUSE daemon

Which can lead to unexpected permission errors for the shell user.

cool, thank you man!

thanks dude

thank bro, very helpful 👍

I don't know how i can getting

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()	/storage/sdcard0

I get /storage/emulated/0
:(

Excelent.

Thank you very much for this.

Thanks a ton for this. :)

thankssssssss

Thanks

Thanks. Its really helpful.

In my Moto G(5s)
the method Environment.getDownloadCacheDirectory() returns /data/cache which already comes under /data
what to do about this?

Just my two cents:
On my Nexus 6 I have "Downloads" (plural), but DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS points to "Download" (single)!
The docs say "for backwards compatibility reasons"!?

most of are deprecated

yes, most of them are depre..!

Excelent ...

thanks

Proviso
The directory name and mount path may differ due to the device implementation. 😄

How get res/raw directory?

Which is accessible way to get /storage/emulated/0 in Flutter. Coz by default it is calling getExternalFilesDir internally!!

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() not working in Android 11. is there any way suggestion?

I tried to specify a destination for my download manager`

private fun downloadVideos() {
var request = DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse("https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1558981408-db"))
.setTitle("Phonics")
.setDescription("Downloading phonics level one")
.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE)
.setAllowedOverMetered(true)
.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir("test.mp4", "Allon Fasaha/Module 1/Literacy/Level 1/Phonics/")

    var dm = getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE) as DownloadManager
    myDownloadID = dm.enqueue(request)
}

`

Still not downloading at the specified path.

Is every android device internal storage start with "storage/emulated/0/" path? Or have some android devices it will be differ??
