Try like this:

String SD_CARD_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
new File(SD_CARD_PATH + "/" + "splah2.jpg");

  • OMG!!!! wot a shame, dat was a silly spelling mistake in file name :) thanks for saving my day :) – Jay Mayu Aug 18 '11 at 04:48
  • External storage doesn't always mean it's SD card. Some manufacturers reserve a space in the built-in internal storage which can acts as a "external storage". Read thoroughly the [official definition here](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal) – mr5 Feb 20 '18 at 10:16

Try running: new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/splah2.jpg")

The code below has worked for me.

String mRelativeFolderPath = "/DCIM/Camera/";  // i.e. SDCard/DCIM/Camera
String mBaseFolderPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + mRelativeFolderPath; 
String filePath = mBaseFolderPath  + "test.jpg";
File handle = new File(filePath);

try 

    new File("/sdcard/splah2.jpg")

or

    new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "splah2.jpg")

both are same if SD card is install because,

    Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns "/sdcard"
