Android Question How to Create a folderstructure in File.Dirxxxxxx?

How to Create a folderstructure in File.Dirxxxxxx?
I have a app that needs some things do be downloaded. JSON-Data, Images

How can i create a folderstructure in a place which i can reach when device is connected with usb from pc?
Which one is the best Place for it?

File.DirDefaultExternal
File.DirInternal
File.DirInternalCache
File.DirRootExternal

As of the resctrictions in KitKat (no access to external sdcards) i would prefer File.DirRootExternal. I know i can view this folder on my pc.

Can someone show me a small example how to Create a folderstructure like

/MyFolderName/Images/
/MyFolderName/json/

?

And then i need to know how i can reference to this folders when i use for example

LoadBitmapSample(File.DirRootExternal,"icon.png",110dip,130dip)

Like this?

LoadBitmapSample(File.DirRootExternal&"/MyFolderName/Images/","icon.png",110dip,130dip)

Many thanx for any hint or code example. Have a nice Weekend

It is better to create a directory in DirDefaultExternal, using RootExternal, when the app is uninstalled you will leave orphan files taking unnecessary space.

And i can find my folder in DirDefaultExternal WHERE when device is connected via usb?

 

[NJDude]

<COMPUTER_NAME>\<DEVICE_NAME>\Internal storage\Android\data\<PACKAGE_NAME>\Files

 

[DonManfred]

ahhh... Ok. And when i create a folderstruct with

file.MakeDir(file.DirDefaultExternal,"/Data/Images/")

How do i use this folders then? I mean reading a file from this folder

LoadBitmapSample(File.DirDefaultExternal&"/Data/Images/","icon.png",110dip,130dip)

?

 

[NJDude]

A last question

When i have created a folderstructure with

file.MakeDir(file.DirDefaultExternal,"/Data/Images/")

and i will call that command again; will that raise an error when the folder already exists?

Yes, i know, i should test it But maybe you know that already and want to share your glorious knowledge?

 

[NJDude]

Maybe you should find out by yourself

 

[LucaMs]

Uhm... I think I read somewhere the function File.Exists

 

[DonManfred]

Maybe you should find out by yourself

Sure i´ll do that Thanx a lot for your help!
