Can't create a directory on /storage/emulated/0 on emulator

Question

I\'m trying to create a directory on my android emulator but I can\'t do it, I already have the permission on manifest write_storage, and I get no erros but mkdir() return f

Answer 1

I had a similar issue was fixed by using mkdirs instead of mkdir

Answer 2

You have to options:

• Downgrade your compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to lower version in your build.gradle
• Request write permission at runtime is required on Android 6 .

I personally don't advice the first one. For more info check:

• Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Cannot write to SD Card
• Google Play services 8.1 and Android 6.0 Permissions

Hope this helps!!
