I am assuming that you are referring to the Android/ directory seen in what the Android SDK refers to as external storage.

Use getExternalFilesDir(), getExternalCacheDir(), or getExternalMediaDir(), all methods available on implementations of Context, such as Activity and Service.

Also, if you want to be able to see the files that you create from your desktop OS, you will need to arrange to have the files indexed by the MediaStore.
