I am trying to create a directory in Oreo but its failed.but working fine in Nougat and below. I have added Runtime Storage Permission already.

        File myDir = null;
        boolean status = false;
        File downloadedImage;
        try {
            URL url = new URL(mediaUrl);
            URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
            connection.connect();
            fileLength = connection.getContentLength();
            myDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"/RealInstagram/media/");
            if (!myDir.exists()) {
                myDir.mkdirs();
            }
         }

`myDir.mkdirs();` check the return value. `if ( !myDir.mkdirs()) return;`. You could also add a toast there. – greenapps Feb 02 '18 at 13:24

`"/RealInstagram/media/"` That should be `"RealInstagram/media"`. – greenapps Feb 02 '18 at 13:25
@greenapps I checked (!myDir.mkdirs()) ,every times its returnig "false" – Mukesh Kumar Feb 02 '18 at 13:34
Well what did you do with my other remark? – greenapps Feb 02 '18 at 13:36
Even after this "RealInstagram/media" . its failure to create directory @greenapps – Mukesh Kumar Feb 02 '18 at 13:38
if (!myDir.exists()) { Toast.makeText(StoryActivity.this, "Directory not exist", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); myDir.mkdirs(); } .Everytime giving Toast and after that not able to create directory – Mukesh Kumar Feb 02 '18 at 13:39
Pretty bad code. You should have `if (!myDir.mkdirs()) { Toast.makeText(StoryActivity.this, "Could not create directory: " + myDir.getAbsolutePath(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); return;}`. – greenapps Feb 02 '18 at 13:51

Did you explicitly request the `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission at runtime? https://stackoverflow.com/a/47788508 – Mike M. Feb 02 '18 at 20:14
