Attributes

Exceptions

if the path is not a valid storage device.

Remarks

Returns whether the shared/external storage media at the given path is emulated.

The contents of emulated storage devices are backed by a private user data partition, which means there is little benefit to apps storing data here instead of the private directories returned by Context#getFilesDir(), etc.

This returns true when emulated storage is backed by either internal storage or an adopted storage device.
