How to create a folder in external sdcard?

I have a task to save the .txt in external SDCard(Not Device memory). I tried in all ways. I can't get the required output. The folder created and saved in internal device sdcard only. I used the following code.

 private File mPath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
        .getAbsolutePath() + "/Research/"+filname+".txt");

I also put the following code in Manifest file

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

But it is not working. Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • There is no way you can determine the path to removable media (Micro SD card) reliably on Android. So stop trying. Better ask the user to indicate that path.
