how to create a folder in android External Storage Directory?

Question

I cannot create a folder in android External Storage Directory.

I have added permissing on manifest,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> 

Here is my code:

 String Path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath().toString()+ "/Shidhin/ShidhiImages";   System.out.println("Path  : " +Path );   File FPath = new File(Path);   if (!FPath.exists()) {         if (!FPath.mkdir()) {             System.out.println("***Problem creating Image folder " +Path );         }   } 

Answer 1

Do it like this :

String folder_main = "NewFolder";  File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), folder_main); if (!f.exists()) {     f.mkdirs(); } 

If you wanna create another folder into that :

File f1 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + folder_main, "product1"); if (!f1.exists()) {     f1.mkdirs(); }

The difference between mkdir and mkdirs is that mkdir does not create nonexistent parent directory, while mkdirs does, so if Shidhin does not exist, mkdir will fail. Also, mkdir and mkdirs returns true only if the directory was created. If the directory already exists they return false
