/sdcard and /data are on the same partition these days, you should just be using the app's private folder if the data is sensitive in the slightest. Which in this case it clearly is, and it's not even large data.
- eropple 13y agoThis is true on Nexus phones, but it's a mount point (not "emulated") on Samsung or other SD-card-equipped phones, which I think--not sure--is more of a majority.
- kllrnohj 13y agoNo, on Samsung & other SD-card-equipped phones /sdcard points to internal storage and there's some other path, like /sdcard2, that points at the actual SD card.
