Re: [android-developers] Re: Galaxy Nexus is not properly implementing getExternalStorageDirectory; can anyone confirm?

Sure, although I'm not going to update my app to call the Media Scanner, because it has nothing to do with Media. The problem is, your average user will see "Galaxy Nexus" in their Windows Explorer and assume it behaves like a regular USB drive.

In fact, I don't understand this at all.  If MTP is supposed to be for media only then why is the whole file system exposed?  At least, why expose the parts of a file system that are nothing to do with media. Better still, shouldn't the media be presented in a more media-friendly way: e.g a flat hierarchy with Music, Videos, Photos etc?

Well, apps are supposed to call Media Scanner to update the media database.

My point was that the media scanner, being an OS component, could keep track of file system changes on its own.

But it doesn't -- oh well :)

It would be nice if there was at least some kind of developer tool/option that sits in between the app and the filesystem and takes care of refreshing/notifying changes etc...
