Check if directory exist on android's sdcard

Question

How do I check if a directory exist on the sdcard in android?

Answer 1

General use this function for checking is a Dir exists:

public boolean dir_exists(String dir_path)
  {
    boolean ret = false;
    File dir = new File(dir_path);
    if(dir.exists() && dir.isDirectory())
      ret = true;
    return ret;
  }

Use the Function like:

String dir_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "//mydirectory//";

if (!dir_exists(dir_path)){
  File directory = new File(dir_path); 
  directory.mkdirs(); 
}

if (dir_exists(dir_path)){
  // 'Dir exists'
}else{
// Display Errormessage 'Dir could not creat!!'
}
