Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES equivalent in pre API-8

Question

The Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES variable stores the path to image directory in Android 2.2 (API 8).

What is the most reasonable way to acquire this path in pre-8 versions?

It's probably (is it always in pre-8?) equivalent to the sdcard mountpoint.

Whats the best way of me appoaching my own related question to this? I have an error on Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES where it says this can not be resolved or is not a field. — Henry Aspden, Jul 08 '13 at 10:39

The true answer: You can not know for certain.

The most probable answer: Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/DCIM"

If you know the last picture added to the device was from the camera, you can use the solution here: get current picture folder of camera
