Answer 1

Never hardwire a path, particularly to external storage. Your path is wrong on many devices. Use Environment.getExternalStoragePath() to get the root of external storage (which may be /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard or something else).

Be sure to create your subdirectory, using the File object you get back from Environment.getExternalStoragePath().

And, finally, don't just say "but its not working". We have no idea what "but its not working" means in your case. Without that information, it is very difficult to help you.
