Check if directory exist on android's sdcard

Question

How do I check if a directory exist on the sdcard in android?

Answer 1

Regular Java file IO:

File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/somedir");
if(f.isDirectory()) {
   ....

Might also want to check f.exists(), because if it exists, and isDirectory() returns false, you'll have a problem. There's also isReadable()...

Check here for more methods you might find useful.

Answer 2

File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/mydirectory");
if(dir.exists() && dir.isDirectory()) {
    // do something here
}
