SD Card Question

[Yosh]

What's is the recommended way to determine if a smart device has an SD Card
slot?

Thank you,

Yosh

You can check if there is a temporary directory named Storage Card (or SD
Card or whatever it is called on your device)... This would only work when
there is an SD card present...

Hi Daniel,

the code you pointed to is working - sometimes....
For an example the IPAQs have some kind of NVR called "\iPAQ File Store".
So this path is found by the algo pointed to.

I believe that iPAQ File Store is Flash on the main board of the device.
However, since it's an installable filesystem, it's possible that it would
show up. There's no foolproof way to say that a device has an SD card slot,
specifically, or not.

Hi Paul,

you are right - it is some kind of NVR on the mainboard.
But it shows up with the same attributes as a memory card.

Of course - a check for IPAQ in the name could help for that.
But maybe there are other devices out there with such a thing and different names!

What I decided to do is to get size information (hoping that the store is smaller than 64MB.

Cheers
