1Welcome to SO! Can you show us part of your code which is 'scanning' your internal storage? – user5226582 Jul 04 '16 at 12:27

final String MEDIA_PATH = new String(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()); – Mohit Sharma Jul 05 '16 at 06:25

So it seems like `getExternalStorageDirectory()` returns internal storage directory instead. [Related question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5694933/find-an-external-sd-card-location/5695129#5695129). In short, there is no straightforward way of doing this, because there is no standard between different manufacturers. People come up with workarounds however.

Sorry there's no simple answer. – user5226582 Jul 05 '16 at 08:40
