	I have a requirement where i need to block the user from having access to the device (phone) SDCard more like disable the SDCard completely. Is there a way i can achieve this? Can someone kindly guide me with some inputs on this. asked Dec 26 '12 at 9:53

You can safely remove the sdcard, I think your requirement is same: Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MEMORY_CARD_SETTINGS); startActivity(i); Unmounting the SD card is one of those actions which could be used maliciously if it wasn't under full user control. If it could be done purely in software (without user intervention) then code could disrupt other apps running on the device. answered Dec 26 '12 at 9:55 Sam-In-TechValens 1,076115
