This is working and very easy to understand

 TextView state = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sdcardstatus);
  if(Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))   {
  state.setText("SD card is present");
} else {
 state.setText("SD card is not present");
 }

Or refer on this tutorial

HAPPY CODING!

You can use getExternalStorageState(). The developer site (linked here) has a short snippet of the recommended way to check for the presence of the external SD card, and whether or not you can write to it.
