Java code to check sdcard exsist in android device

Question

I am developing an android application and I need to know how could i check if the sdcard exist or not before exporting a file to it , so that i could notify the user that the sdcard is or isn't mounted.

Are you talking about the removable SDCard ? – Chintan Soni Mar 02 '14 at 19:22 — Chintan Soni, Mar 02 '14 at 19:22

public boolean hasSDCard() {
    return android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState()
              .equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED);
}

Unfortunately, this is not universal, for example it returns true on my Nexus 4, which has NO SD card. See the docs for getExternalStorageState() here - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStorageDirectory() – Melquiades Mar 02 '14 at 19:18
