Android Question SubDirectory creation

[padvou]

What is wrong with this code:

If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal , "parentdir/subdir1")=False Then File.MakeDir(File.DirRootExternal , "parentdir/subdir1")

 

[Erel]

What is the error message?

Will File Exists work with subfolders?

What is the error message?

It never creates the directory, no error.

 

[Erel]

File.Exists works with subdirectories.

I've tried your code and it works fine here. Maybe the external storage is read-only?

You can check it with File.ExternalWritable.

No it's not read-only.
A couple of lines above the code snippet I posted, it creates other directories without issues.
I use the exact same code in other applications and it works fine..

 

[Erel]

You can add another File.Exists to check whether the folder was created successfully. If not then is something wrong. Maybe with the sd card file system.

Thank you. I'll do some more tests..
