Too Long; Didn't Read

VOLD stands for "Volume Daemon", a service responsible for detecting and mounting/un-mounting of all the external or extended storage media in Android like USB, SD Card etc. VOLD is responsible for "mounting" of external storage media. When I remove the SDCard, my app just crashed! My app was accessing the APK file on that file to get the icon image. I was using dummy icon for all the files but for APK to extract the icon from it's manifest file, which goes like this. The break point wasn't even hitting, the app crashed that fast!
