Android create folders in Internal Memory

YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS IF YOU WANT YOUR FILES TO BE ACCESSED BY USER EASILY

File newdir= context.getDir("DirName", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); //Don't do if (!newdir.exists()) newdir.mkdirs(); 

INSTEAD, do this:

To create directory on phone primary storage memory (generally internal memory) you should use following code. Please note that ExternalStorage in Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() does not necessarily refers to sdcard, it returns phone primary storage memory

File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "MyDirName"); if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) { if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) { Log.d("App", "failed to create directory"); } } 

Directory created using this code will be visible to phone user easily. The other method (mentioned first) creates directory in location (/data/data/package.name/app_MyDirName), hence normal phone user will not be able to access it easily and so you should not use it to store video/photo etc.

You will need permissions, in AndroidManifest.xml

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

context.getDir("mydir", ...); This creates your.package/app_mydir/

 /** Retrieve or creates <b>path</b>structure inside in your /data/data/you.app.package/ * @param path "dir1/dir2/dir3" * @return */ private File getChildrenFolder(String path) { File dir = context.getFilesDir(); List<String> dirs = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.<String>asList(path.split("/"))); for(int i = 0; i < dirs.size(); ++i) { dir = new File(dir, dirs.get(i)); //Getting a file within the dir. if(!dir.exists()) { dir.mkdir(); } } return dir; } 

Android change his security about Storage, For more details check the video Storage access with Android 10

Also you can try this in android 10

File mydir = new File(getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir("Directory Name").getAbsolutePath()); if (!mydir.exists()) { mydir.mkdirs(); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Directory Created",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } 

The path of your directory will be in your app data.

 private File createFile(String fName) { String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/" + fName+".wav"; File newFile = new File(filePath); println(":File path = "+newFile+"\n "+filePath); if (!newFile.exists()) { try { newFile.createNewFile(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); toastMsg("Unable to Create New File !"); } } else { toastMsg("File Already Exists"); } return newFile; } 

//Request Multiple Permissions

private void reqMulPerm(){ String permissions[]={ Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, }; if(permissions.length!=0){ ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,permissions,1); } } 

File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "FolderName"); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { try { Files.createDirectory(Paths.get(f.getAbsolutePath())); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getLocalizedMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } else { f.mkdir(); f.mkdirs(); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), f.getPath(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } 

//gets path of the directory("imRec") in Android's data folder File file=new File(getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir("imRec").getAbsolutePath()); if (!file.exists()) { //if directory by that name doesn't exist if (!file.mkdirs()) { //we create the directory //if still directory doesn't get created ERROR mssg gets displayed //which in most cases won't happen Toast.makeText(CameraActivity.this, "ERROR", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }
