Answer 1

To create file inside sd card you have to use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()

   /**
     * Creates a new directory inside external storage if not already exist.
     *
     * @param name The directory name
     */
    public static void createNewDirectory(String name) {
            // create a directory before creating a new file inside it.
            File directory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), name);
            if (!directory.exists()) {
                directory.mkdirs(); 
            }
        }

Following two important parameter which helps you to create directory 1. directory.mkdirs() :

Creates the directory named by this file, creating missing parent directories if necessary. 2. directory.mkdir() :

Creates the directory named by this file, assuming its parents exist.
