Answer 1

The answer is here in the API Guide: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal

The basic steps are: 1. Check the storage state (if it exists) 2. Get the storage Path 3. Go further in a directory you want 4. Make a folder, read a file, write a file, etc. That part is up to you.

This is taken from the docs:

public File getAlbumStorageDir(String albumName) {
    // Get the directory for the user's public pictures directory.
    File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
            Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), albumName);
    if (!file.mkdirs()) {
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Directory not created");
    }
    return file;
}
