Create folder in Android

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.


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
