Alien Dalvik does not recognize external SD card

Several Android navigation apps require an SD card to be present (e.g. MapFactor, Navmax, Be-on-road). Apparently the presence of an SD-card is detected by an API call and is not hard-coded, therefore this thread will not solve the problem (I tried it): https://together.jolla.com/question/1888/add-optional-access-to-external-sd-card-from-android-app/. I installed all of these apps above but cannot start them since all of them complain that no SD card is installed, although I have one installed which is also detected by Sailfish, e.g. in the Media application. So it seems that the Alien Dalvik does not recognize the card.
