Android Question File.MakeDir doesn´t seems to work properly

[cds-soft]

Sorry for this stupid question, but i don't know why this code always shows the folder doesn't exists.

Dim s As String
s = "todo"
If File.Exists(File.DirInternal & s & "/", "") = False Then
    ' Creamos la carpeta de descarga
    File.MakeDir(File.DirInternal, s)
    ' Validamos
    If File.Exists(File.DirInternal & s & "/", "") = False Then
        Msgbox("Error", "")
        Return
    End If
End If

Edit because I solved it

Well this is the info for File.MakeDir (Info)

MakeDir (Parent AsString, Dir AsString)
Creates the given folder (creates all folders as needed).
Example:
File.MakeDir(File.DirInternal, "music/90")

Well, this is not correct.

The correct command is...

File.MakeDir(File.DirInternal, "/music")

And if you want to check if this directory exist, you can do

If File.Exists(File.DirInternal "/music", "") = True Then

OR

If File.Exists(File.DirInternal "/music/", "") = True Then

Both are accepted.

I hope this will be usefull for B4A "newies" like me. And hope this info should be fixed.

Thanks for your help and sorry for my english

I think you should be using IsDirectory

I think "IsDirectory" is to check if it's a directory or not.

If you want to check a directory exist you have to do File.Exist with file name empty
This return true.

File.Exists("/mnt/sdcard/Download/", "")

Thanks NJDude.

Do not hard code the paths, not all devices are the same.

Yes, that's true. It's not a good example. Sorry.
In my code i'm using File.DirInternal. Thanks.
