Android Public Directory

Android Public Directory就是android系统启动时创建的/sdcard目录下的如下几个目录

Alarms\
DCIM\
Download\
Movies\
Music\
Notifications\
Pictures\
Podcasts\
Ringtones\

这9个目录的创建代码在

packages/providers/MediaProvider/src/com/android/providers/media/MediaProvider.java

目录名称定义在

framework/base/core/java/android/os/Environment.java

public static String DIRECTORY_MUSIC = "Music";
public static String DIRECTORY_PODCASTS = "Podcasts";
public static String DIRECTORY_RINGTONES = "Ringtones";
public static String DIRECTORY_ALARMS = "Alarms";
public static String DIRECTORY_NOTIFICATIONS = "Notifications";
public static String DIRECTORY_PICTURES = "Pictures";
public static String DIRECTORY_MOVIES = "Movies";
public static String DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS = "Download";
public static String DIRECTORY_DCIM = "DCIM";

MediaProvider.java中创建目录代码如下：

private static final String[] sDefaultFolderNames = {
        Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_PODCASTS,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_RINGTONES,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_ALARMS,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_NOTIFICATIONS,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_MOVIES,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,
        Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM,
    };

    // creates default folders (Music, Downloads, etc)
    private void createDefaultFolders(DatabaseHelper helper, SQLiteDatabase db) {
        // Use a SharedPreference to ensure we only do this once.
        // We don't want to annoy the user by recreating the directories
        // after she has deleted them.
        SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getContext());
        if (prefs.getInt("created_default_folders", 0) == 0) {
            for (String folderName : sDefaultFolderNames) {
                File file = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(folderName);
                if (!file.exists()) {
                    <span style="color:#ff0000;">file.mkdirs();</span>
                    insertDirectory(helper, db, file.getAbsolutePath());
                }
            }

            SharedPreferences.Editor e = prefs.edit();
            e.clear();
            e.putInt("created_default_folders", 1);
            e.commit();
        }
    }

如果想在系统启动时不去创建这几个目录，可以直接注释掉createDefaultFolders函数的调用

private Uri attachVolume(String volume) {
......
createDefaultFolders(helper, helper.getWritableDatabase());
......
}
