Question

Fellow programmers.
Cuold you possibly take a look on this simple code frag and tell me what’s wrong here?

File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/asteroids/modules"); 
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/asteroids/modules/" + fileName);             
if (!file.exists()) {     
    dir.mkdir();
    file.createNewFile();              
}   

I keep geting ENOENT (No such file or directory) on file.createNewFile();

I just want to create a simple txt file nested in 2 subfolders on my SDcard…

The likely scenario is that the asteroids directory doesn’t exist, so you can’t create the modules directory within it.

Use dir.mkdirs() to ensure that all parent directories also get created.
