Answer 1

Check file exist in internal storage

Example : /storage/emulated/0/FOLDER_NAME/FILE_NAME.EXTENTION

1. check permission (write storage)

2. and check file exist or not

   public static boolean isFilePresent(String fileName) { return getFilePath(fileName).isFile(); }

3. get File from the file name

   public static File getFilePath(String fileName){ String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString(); File folder = new File(extStorageDirectory, "FOLDER_NAME"); File filePath = new File(folder + "/" + fileName); return filePath; }
