SD Card Path Conventions
To access the SD card memory a valid SD card label must be used at the beginning of the path, followed by the relative path to the SD card. (Valid SD Card Label)/(Relative Path)
A valid SD card relative path starts with //
, /
, \\
, or \
. This is immediately followed by SDCard
which is followed by \
or /
. Please note that this path label is case insensitive.
Valid Paths | Notes |
---|---|
//SDCard/file1 | |
\Sdcard/dir1/file1 | dir1 must have been already created |
/sdcard/dir1/file1 | dir1 must have been already created |
//sdCard\file1 |
Invalid Paths | Reason for being invalid |
---|---|
///SDCard/file1 | Started with more than two forward or backward slashes |
/\Sdcard/dir1/file1 | Started with one forward and one backward slash |
/sdcarddir1/file1 | No forward or backward slash |
/sdcard1/dir1/file1 | Invalid label |
In order to maintain compatibility with the Simulator, the SDCard
folder is created inside the userdata folder . File access points to userdata/SDCard
when a PDMM SDCard path is used on the Simulator.
