Remarks
Returns whether the primary shared/external storage media is emulated.
The contents of emulated storage devices are backed by a private user data partition, which means there is little benefit to apps storing data here instead of the private directories returned by Context#getFilesDir(), etc.
This returns true when emulated storage is backed by either internal storage or an adopted storage device.
