Programmatically accessing internal storage (not SD card) on Verizon HTC Droid Incredible (Android)

Question

I\'m trying to find information on how to programmatically access the HTC Droid Incredible\'s supposed 8GB of Internal Storage M

Answer 1

There is more information here: Droid Incredible storage mount points. It seems that Droid Incredible mounts its internal storage to /emmc, supposedly mounted r/w. It is not yet verified whether the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is necessary in order to gain r/w access - I'm trying to get this information from Google Code

I will probably solve this by allowing the user two options to store the data:

1. SD-Card
2. Droid Incredible-only Internal storage

Edit: It seems that the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is sufficient: according to droidForums both /sdcard and /emmc has the same GID of 1015.

Edit2: According to Google Group Thread the Incredible returns /sdcard as the result value of Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(). Therefore, the user needs to decide whether he wants to use /sdcard or /emmc. The auto-detection of Incredible may be based on existence of the /emmc path.
