you should not hide any files from user in the user-accessible storage. If you want to secure files from the user, use internal storage. — Vladyslav Matviienko

You can create folder like this in External Storage directory:

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

//get path to external storage (SD card) String iconsStoragePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Abc/"; File sdIconStorageDir = new File(iconsStoragePath); //create storage directories, if they don't exist if(!sdIconStorageDir.exists()){ sdIconStorageDir.mkdirs(); }

your answer is right , you just need to add check before this line if(!sdIconstorageDis.exists()) sdIconStorageDir.mkdirs();

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() is deprecated and should not be used anymore. Use context.getExternalFilesDir(String type) instead
