How can I set the SDCard as defalt?

Development
#1

When I stick USB into the computer 2 units is shown Unit F: and unit G:
I tried to set the path in sourcecode to mnt/extsd (in file manager folder
sdcard is shown with this path)

using:

public class Collect extends Application {

// This is the default code for saving on Device's memory

public static final String ODK_ROOT =

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "odk";
public static final String FORMS_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
"forms";
public static final String INSTANCES_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
"instances";
public static final String CACHE_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
".cache";
public static final String METADATA_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
"metadata";
public static final String TMPFILE_PATH = CACHE_PATH + File.separator +
"tmp.jpg";
}

··· ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ public class Collect extends Application { 
// This is the update I made, however it still saves on device's memory

but it creates

public static final String ODK_ROOT =

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "mnt"

  • File.separator + "extsd" + File.separator +"odk";
    public static final String FORMS_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
    "forms";
    public static final String INSTANCES_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
    "instances";
    public static final String CACHE_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
    ".cache";
    public static final String METADATA_PATH = ODK_ROOT + File.separator +
    "metadata";
    public static final String TMPFILE_PATH = CACHE_PATH + File.separator +
    "tmp.jpg";
    }

So, what should I do for it recognize SDcard as the default storage path??

I use a china Tablet Genesis gt-7200

You are correct that changing ODK_ROOT should change ODK Collect to use
the alternate path for all storage.

Otherwise, I have no idea. This is a generic Android question or a question
specific to your tablet.
Searching stackoverflow.com or other sites may provide a solution.
