How Can I Create A Folder Here?

I can't seem to "find" the path to this parent folder on my phone.
The first image is what Windows Explorer says my phone memory looks like.
The second image is what Total Commander says my phone memory looks like.



I have tried many combinations "Internal shared storage", with and without "storage", "0", "emulated", etc.



I want to create a new folder among these



This is what the app Total Commander says my memory looks like






android folder

    Please clarify. Do You need to create folder programmatically? You need to get list of folders on internal memory?

  • Yes, I want to create a folder. If it is in the parent folder in the first image I can drag and drop files with Windows. For example, if the new folder is "Marque" I would hope to find it between "fonts" and "Movies" in the first image. Then I could drag and drop files from windows and the phone.

    That is what the Android SDK refers to as external storage.

Try this: 



File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();

File directory = new File(sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + YOUR_DIR_NAME);

boolean dirOk = directory.mkdirs();

if (dirOk){

// dir created successfully

}else{

//dir create failed

}


In the manifest add:



<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem?
