using external storage?

Question

I want to use the sdcard as a storage support of my application's data, the problem I encountered the path varies depending on the manufacturer, I do not have the same configuration for all tablets. I used the code below.

File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
            String Path =  root.getAbsolutePath().toString();
            File mFile = new File(Path+ "/fileName");
            if(mFile.exists()){
                mFile.delete();  
            }

With some tablets the job is done and the file is deleted with other no. So can you tell me how to get the external storage for all tablets.

this can probably help you : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10629523/building-a-utility-to-get-the-path-to-external-removable-storage-every-time — , Jun 11 '13 at 15:23

File has a constructor that takes two parameters. A file and a String.

File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File mFile = new File(root, "fileName");
if(mFile.exists()){
    mFile.delete();  
}
