Difference between isExternalStorageRemovable and isExternalStorageEmulated
android
Solution
`isExternalStorageEmulated() == true` means that there is no real SD card and it is just emulated (Nexus 5 for example). if the external storage isn't emulated `isExternalStorageEmulated() == false` then it can either be removable or not that is why we have `isExternalStorageRemovable()`
Problem
`Environment.isExternalStorageRemovable()` was added in API 9 And `Environment.isExternalStorageEmulated()` was added in API 11 `isExternalStorageRemovable` returns true when `getExternalStorageDirectory`'s path is removable or not, more like a SD Card and if it return false, its internal storage and can never be removed physically. And `isExternalStorageEmulated` is just do opposite of `isExternalStorageRemovable` ? Now, my question is whats the difference ? Is it just different name with opposite output ?
