On Nokia Asha software platform devices, the return value can vary and depends on whether there is a memory card present. By default, the memory card’s file system is used for all the common directories. However if the memory card is removed, the phone’s memory is used instead.
The table below contains the FileConnection API system properties that return the localized names of common directories and the URLs to the most common directories.
For information about the Nokia-specific com.nokia.dir.name:xxxx system property supported on Nokia Asha and Series 40 software platform devices, see section Nokia-specific system properties.
