Android Question Creating a new folder on External SD Card

GuyBooth · May 30, 2018

I have succeeded in accessing files and folders and creating a file using the ExternalStorage class at

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...access-sd-cards-and-usb-sticks.90238/#content

I don't see a way to create a new folder. Do I need to use some variation of the CreateNewFile method? Or is there a method that can be added to the class?

Add this sub to the class:

B4X:

'Creates a new directory
Public Sub CreateNewDirectory (Parent As ExternalFile, Name As String) As ExternalFile
   Return DocumentFileToExternalFile(Parent.Native.RunMethod("createDirectory", Array(Name)))
End Sub

I haven't tested it.

It works
