    <p>I want to create a directory on "/mnt/extsd/MyFolder" this path. while calling mkdir() it returns false.I inserted the sdcard on my tablet, got the external path as "/mnt/extsd" and trying to create a folder on this path. Below is my code,</p> <pre><code>File lSDCardDirFile = new File("/mnt/extsd/MyFolder"); if (!lSDCardDirFile.exists()) { System.out.println("Is folder created --- " + lSDCardDirFile.mkdirs()); } </code></pre> <p>I gave the permissions, . I want to create the folder in External sd card which is removable sd card. I am using android 4.0 ICS version device.</p> <p>I created a different method for getting paths fom external SD card,</p> <pre><code> public static String[] getStorageDirectories() { String[] lDirs = null; BufferedReader lBufferReader = null; try { lBufferReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/proc/mounts")); ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); String lStrline; while ((lStrline = lBufferReader.readLine()) != null) { if (lStrline.contains("vfat") || lStrline.contains("/mnt")) { StringTokenizer lTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(lStrline, " "); String lStrPath = lTokenizer.nextToken(); lStrPath = lTokenizer.nextToken(); // Take the second token, i.e. mount point if (lStrPath.equals(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath())) { list.add(lStrPath); } else if (lStrline.contains("/dev/block/vold")) { if (!lStrline.contains("/mnt/secure") &amp;&amp; !lStrline.contains("/mnt/asec") &amp;&amp; !lStrline.contains("/mnt/obb") &amp;&amp; !lStrline.contains("/dev/mapper") &amp;&amp; !lStrline.contains("tmpfs")) { list.add(lStrPath); } } } } lDirs = new String[list.size()]; for (int i = 0; i &lt; list.size(); i++) { lDirs[i] = (String) list.get(i); } } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {} catch (IOException e) {} finally { if (lBufferReader != null) { try { lBufferReader.close(); } catch (IOException e) { } } } return lDirs; }` </code></pre> <p>From this method I got the path, but while trying to create a directory, the mkdir() returns false.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
