I am using the following code to create a folder.

File mydir= new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"My Folder");
    if (!mydir.exists()) {
        mydir.mkdirs();

    }

I have also added permissions to write to external storage but I am not finding any folder in my phone storage. I am using LG G2 which has internal memory and does not support sdcard.

Please refer to this [stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/8124723/4056108) – chirag90 May 25 '17 at 08:23
heve you checked, which path you get in `Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"My Folder"`? – Vladyslav Matviienko May 25 '17 at 08:24
Use the return value of mkdirs() and display different Toasts() for true/false. – greenapps May 25 '17 at 08:26
Which Android version? For 6 and above you need to add code to ask the user to grant those permissions. Google runtime permission. – greenapps May 25 '17 at 08:28
Thanks @greenapps I had to manually turn on permission from the settings because my phone is running android 6.0. – Shehryar Zaheer May 25 '17 at 09:37
