Note 3:
For a developer, it is important to note that from a programming point of view the location names used to
refer to the different memory areas described in Note 1 are still valid, i.e., the area used for applications (“/
data”) is still present, as is the area used for content (“/sdcard”).
In reality, “sdcard” is a so-called “symbolic link” to “/data/media”. However, from inside an Android
application, “/sdcard” can still be used. For example, you can use “sdcard/DCIM/100Android” to find all
camera images. The continued use of “/sdcard” to access the content area ensures compatibility across
different products and Android releases in this regard.
