[android-developers] Re: Eject sdcard when playing video on internal storage cause “media server died”

without using your app just yet, if you remove the external sdcard,
and go to your application, can you still play the video that is in
the internal storage?

usually when you eject storages or connect to USB storage the OS goes
an checks which packages have in their manifest the use for sdcard and
who is using...if the apps dont handle the eject event at time, the os
manager will go and kill all apps.
