By the way, Could you please fill in // TODO handle non-primary volumes so that I can get the path from external storage (SD Card is what I'm after) as well?

Would you be willing to apply the Apache 2.0 license to this, like you have to several of your repositories?

for those who can't get path from sdcard, i found this solution.
