Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() ever wil return the manufacturer's external storage, sometimes is SdCard, some others is Internal Storage...

There is no reliable way to determine the path to a micro SD card for all devices. On some you can use getExternalStorageDirectory().

If the device runs kitkat you might try to use getExternalFileDirs() which can return several paths.

Make an option in your app so the user can indicate the right path and save the choice in shared preferences.
