What is the path are you checking. Open `DDMS Perspective in Eclipse-> File Explorer ->data -> /storage/emulated/0/MyFolder`. The folder should be created – Avadhani Y Jun 26 '13 at 12:58
I have checked on DDMS. Non folder has been created. I don't know why – Anto Jun 26 '13 at 13:05

You can create Folder this way.

    public  String  path = Environment.getDataDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString()+ "/YourDirectoryName";
    File mFolder = new File(path);
                if (!mFolder.exists()) {
                    mFolder.mkdir();
                }

Try the following in your activity:

String filename = "filename";
String fileContents = "Text in file.";

FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
fos.write(fileContents.getBytes());
fos.close();

it return this path: data/data/MyPackage/files/MyFolder. – Anto Jun 26 '13 at 10:46
That is correct. That is the path where files private to your application will be saved on the internal storage. – MaxAlexander Jun 26 '13 at 10:51
