Create directory failed in file system

Create directory successfully in SD card:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

           File sddir = new File("/sdcard/mydir1");
 
                if (!sddir.mkdirs()) {
 
                        Log.e(TAG, "Create dir in sdcard failed");
 
                        return;
 
                }
Parsed in 0.116 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

But create dir failed in file system:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

                try {
 
                        File dir = getFileStreamPath("mydir2");
 
                        if (!dir.mkdirs()) {
 
                                Log.e(TAG, "Create dir in local failed"); //<--print this error
 
                                return;
 
                        }
 
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
 
                        Log.e(TAG, "error 1: "+e1.toString());
 
                }
Parsed in 0.116 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Could you tell me what I have missed? :roll:

Hello cabernet1976,

In the future SDKs there will be a new set of APIs explicitly for creating directories.
This is said to work (but I cannot check it where I am currently):

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

getFileStreamPath( "my/directory/name" ).mkdirs() 
Parsed in 0.081 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Perhaps yours is not working, because it already exists (already created a run before :?:

)

Regards,
plusminus

Hello,

I've got the opposite issue as cabernet1976. I succeed to create some folder in the /data/data/myApp folder but nothing on the SDcard with the same code.

Is there any permission to grant or something like that ?
Please Advise.
Thank
