title: Mimic Context.getExternalFilesDir() prior to Android API Level 8?
body: <p>Android API level 8 introduced the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getExternalFilesDir(java.lang.String)" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Context.getExternalFilesDir()</code></a> method, providing a <code>File</code> object reference to an SD card path specific to your app.  I am wondering how to mimic this as low as API level 5.</p>
  
  <p>I see there is a <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getDir(java.lang.String,+int)" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Context.getDir()</code></a> method, but I can't tell from reading about it how this differs.</p>
