android, usb-flash-drive, usbserial

Solution

get all mounted device by using this code

public String getStoragepath() {
    try {
        Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
        Process proc = runtime.exec("mount");
        InputStream is = proc.getInputStream();
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
        String line;
        String[] patharray = new String[10];
        int i = 0;
        int available = 0;

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            String mount = new String();
            if (line.contains("secure"))
                continue;
            if (line.contains("asec"))
                continue;

            if (line.contains("fat")) {// TF card
                String columns[] = line.split(" ");
                if (columns != null && columns.length > 1) {
                    mount = mount.concat(columns[1] + "/requiredfiles");

                    patharray[i] = mount;
                    i++;

                    // check directory is exist or not
                    File dir = new File(mount);
                    if (dir.exists() && dir.isDirectory()) {
                        // do something here

                        available = 1;
                        finalpath = mount;
                        break;
                    } else {

                    }
                }
            }
        }
        if (available == 1) {

        } else if (available == 0) {
            finalpath = patharray[0];
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {

    }
    return finalpath;
}

Problem

I am working on an android application to read data from USB. The usb can be connected to android with serial port and my app can find it. Now, I want to read data files and folder from USB. I have read many articles. I found that they use this code : ``` Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); ``` However in my case, I got that the path is /storage/emulated/0. When I try to read all the files which are contained in the path, I got the following statements: ``` /storage/emulated/0/Android /storage/emulated/0/Music /storage/emulated/0/Podcasts /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones ``` and etc. but the path of my usb is not found. So, I'm not sure is it the correct way to read files from USB? Here is my code : ``` File f = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); File[] files = f.listFiles(); String fol = ""; for (File inFile : files) { if (inFile.isDirectory()) { fol += inFile.toString()+"\n"; } } TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.demoTitle); tv.setText(fol); ```
