Hello,

I want to read images from sdcard. What path should i use to access it in QDirIterator ?

In simulator i see this path  "/accounts/1000/removable/sdcard" 

In a few forum posts i see "file:///SDCard/.."

Can any one please confirm if above works on device.

I would prefer not to use the full path. Can 1000 ever change ?

Thanks

Ill ty to use 

           QDir::currentPath() + "/../../removable/sdcard"

Hopefully this will work on the device. Did not find sdcard path in any official documentation.

No, the "1000" wont change. See the BB10 Filesystem explained here...

I used QDir::currentPath() + "/../../removable/sdcard" in an app also. A friend confirmed that it worked on a device.

Hadn't seen the "file:///SDCard/" one before. Have you tried that at all?

I got QDir::currentPath() + "/../../removable/sdcard" from your post  

Was going to use full path but this is nicer and fits better with my app as i used relative path from home anyway.

QDir("file:///SDCard/").exists() returns false so it wont work. I thought there maybe some internal translation as there is no folder /SDCard/.

Btw , I see now that the simulator has /sdcard/ and /sdcard2/

/sdcard/ is internal storage (shared)

and /sdcard2/ is same as /accounts/1000/removable/sdcard/ so it must be for sd card.

I bank on your friends testing for now. Only have playbook.

I pushed app update for approval. Ill update this post if i get any complaints

Heh. Can't remember my own posts...

One note - /sdcard and /sdcard2 definitely won't work. They work on the simulator, but not actual devices.

thanks for that , ill only use the ...removable... link.

wierd that they should have them on simulator.

[torpesco]

I should have been clearer -- I think the reason they don't work is due to access restrictions, there being fewer on the simulator.
