Hi,
This is for the first time i am using external storage in android. I need some help how can i perform different operations such as how to check whether External Storage is available or not?, How to write files or pictures into storage ..
Thanks.
A:
how to check whether External Storage is available or not?
Use Environment.getExternalStorageState().
How to write files or pictures into storage
Use standard Java I/O, working off a directory built using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().

If you write files, dont forget to set the permission in the Manifest. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

@rakesh-gondaliya: You ask a question, then say you "used this already". Why did you ask the question in the first place?

@rakesh-gondaliya: Use standard Java I/O, working off a directory built using `Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()`. If you are unfamiliar with Java I/O, I suggest that you spend a month or two outside of Android learning Java.
