I want to make dir in Sdcard, and i do follow:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
in manifest.public static final String ROOT_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/Hello_World/";
and it returns
/storage/emulated/0/Hello_World
(getting when debug).Next, I run this code:
File file = new File(Constants.ROOT_PATH);
int i = 0;
while (!file.isDirectory() && !file.mkdirs()) {
file.mkdirs();
Log.e("mkdirs", "" + i++);
}
I also tried both mkdirs()
and mkdir()
but it's showing endless loop in logcat (Log.e("mkdirs", "" + i++);
). Sometimes it work, but sometimes not.
Thanks for you helping!
Update
: I tried my code for some devices: Nexus4, nexus7, Vega Iron, Genymotion, LG G Pro, then just Vega Iron work as expected. ??!!?!?
Try like this it will create a folder in the sd card
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myDir = new File(root + "/hello_world");
myDir.mkdirs();
If you want to check that file exists or not use this code
File file = new File (myDir, file_name);
if (file.exists ())
// file exist
else
// file not exist
