Create folder in Android [duplicate]

 import java.io.File;  
    File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/TollCulator");
    boolean success = true;
    if (!folder.exists()) {
        //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Directory Does Not Exist, Create It", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        success = folder.mkdir();
    }
    if (success) {
        //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Directory Created", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else {
        //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Failed - Error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

The above should create a folder in my SD card if it does not exist, if it does then don't do anything. Although the toast works based on the condition but it doesn't create a directory when it does not exist. Any idea how to resolve it?

My Manifest looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.test.testing"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

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

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="6"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.test.testing.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Update: I updated my manifest as well as updated my code but it's still not creating the folder in my SD card. Keep in mind, I am using Eclipse and running the app directly to my phone (GNex VZW) instead of using an AVD.

Solution 1:

Add this permission in Manifest,
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + 
                             File.separator + "TollCulator");
boolean success = true;
if (!folder.exists()) {
    success = folder.mkdirs();
}
if (success) {
    // Do something on success
} else {
    // Do something else on failure 
}

when u run the application go too DDMS->File Explorer->mnt folder->sdcard folder->toll-creation folder

Solution 2:

If you are trying to make more than just one folder on the root of the sdcard, ex. Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Example/Ex App/"

then instead of folder.mkdir() you would use folder.mkdirs()

I've made this mistake in the past & I took forever to figure it out.
