MediaScanner runs on an sdcard, after the sdcard was ejected?

Question

The below code shows me that the MediaScanner has started on the sdcard, after it ejects why? and what is happening?

if(intent.getDataString().equals("file:///mnt/extsd"))
        {
            if(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_STARTED.equals(intent.getAction()))
            {
                //Media scanner is started
            }
            else if(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_FINISHED.equals(intent.getAction()))
            {
            }
        }

Probably this question will be helpfull Its about /mnt/extsd and how to use SD card properly (means Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()). Also you have to check the SD card state. I mean like:

boolean isExternalStorageWriteable = false, isExternalStorageReadable = false;
// Check SD Card for Read/Write
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
    // We can read and write the media
    isExternalStorageWriteable = true;
    isExternalStorageReadable = true;
} else if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(state)) {
    // We can only read the media
    isExternalStorageReadable = true;
} else {
    // Something else is wrong. It may be one of many other states, but
    // all we need
    // to know is we can neither read nor write
}

Thing is, /mnt/sdcard IS the output of Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() but that link is helpful nonetheless – Sojurn Mar 07 '13 at 04:43
actually you have to check the SD card state also. I mean like in code below. – Stan Mar 07 '13 at 08:17
