Support for Nook Simple Touch (SDK7)

[travistabbal]

Info from the user:

No luck on the Nook Simple Touch (SDK 7, not sure which android version that corresponds to). Possibly down to the filesystem being a bit odd though, nothing is mounted at /sdcard

Error is NoSuchMethodError:android.content.Context.getExternalFilesDir

I have a Nook with a 32GB SD card installed, which will get mounted at /sdcard (the internal ~200MB partition normally used for eBooks is mounted at /media), but NewsRob/GrazeRSS attempting to use this method (which is non-existent in the Nook's version of Android 2.1) prevents it from even starting up. This method was only added in API level 8 (2.2), apparently.

For a API level of 7, http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStorageDirectory%28%29 is the way to go.

Alternatively, you could internally hardcode the ExternalFilesDir to /sdcard if ro.product.overall.name==NOOK and ro.product.manufacturer==BarnesAndNoble
