Hello,
I'm trying to find information on how to programmatically access the HTC Droid Incredible's supposed 8GB of internal storage.
To determine the external storage (SD Card) location, I'm using android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().
I've not been able to find any corollary for internal phone storage.
In examining HTC/Google Nexus One, Motorola Droid, and HTC Dream/G1 phones, there (as would be expected) does not appear to be any mount point for such arbitrary internal storage. On these phones the internal storage is divided amongst /data, /system, and /cache partitions. The Incredible's internal storage is certainly not going to be located in /system. /cache is also unlikely given that it is globally non-readable/non-executable. I'd read in reviews that the phone will still be limited to 512MB or so for apps, suggesting that it is not simply a subdirectory of /data.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I do not have access to a Droid Incredible unit myself, of course.
