Folder not created by app in android

Question

I am creating a folder through my app

File direct_playlist = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + PLAYLIST_PATH);

            if(!direct_playlist.exists())
             {
                 if(direct_playlist.mkdir()); //directory is created;

             }

Even though the command executes perfectly I can not see the folder in Explorer. I have also given permission to my app in the manifest.xml

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

When I try to access this folder my app crashes as the folder is not present.

@AppMobiGurmeet: static final String PLAYLIST_PATH = "ContentRenderer/Playlists"; — Ankuj, Oct 26 '12 at 14:39
thanks @user1049280 that helped . but I am still wondering what difference did it cause — Ankuj, Oct 26 '12 at 14:49
refer docs : mkdirs Creates the directory named by the trailing filename of this file, including the complete directory path required to create this director, that means it will create all the required missing folders unlike mkdir — Sunny Kumar Aditya, Oct 26 '12 at 14:58
@Ankuj: It is a directory created under the directory.So mkdirs() will work for you.is it not working? — AppMobiGurmeet, Oct 27 '12 at 06:09

Use "/" instead of File.seprator...may be they help. And If your playlist path contain more than one directory..Use "direct_playlist.mkdirs()"... – Saqqib Nov 01 '12 at 14:16
