I need to work with the database on SD card, if it's possible. If I use the code below, then the database is created on the internal storage (/storage/emulated/0):

private MyDBHelper(Context context) {
    super(context, Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
            + File.separator + "xAPP"
            + File.separator + DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}

How can I create a database on an SD card?

`getExternalStorageDirectory` gives you *internal* storage? – pskink Nov 29 '17 at 13:35
Yes, /storage/emulated/0 – EfremovAV Nov 29 '17 at 13:39
No, this decision does not suit me – EfremovAV Nov 29 '17 at 13:43
Make sure you give runtime permission for `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` – Manohar Nov 29 '17 at 13:52
`How can I create a database on an SD card?`. In the same way as you do now on external storage. You have to find out the path to your apps private storage on the sd card. And knowing the path you can use the same code. – greenapps Nov 29 '17 at 17:16
