Android Question "DirDefaultExternal" Does this folder always exist?

[Eme Fibonacci]

For some reason ExifData can only read the attributes if the file is in the external folder.

I copy the file from gallery to the external folder and got attributes.

My question is: This folder will always exist regardless of whether the device has an external memory card?

Thank you.

File.DirRootExternal ?? Of course

This is not 100% correct. You should check whether File.ExternalWritable is true before writing.

So what is the safest way to do this? I need to copy an image from the gallery to an external folder to read the attributes with ExifData.
EDIT:
I think a better question would be:
Which folder always exists and can I read the ExifData attributes?

Which error do you get when you try to read from File.DirInternal?
