How to save files in External Storage Public Directory DOCUMENTS on Android 4.1.2

Question

i want to save a file on my Android 4.1.2 smartphone in the documents directory.

This code snippet:

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageP         


        

Answer 1

The folder is present in older Versions (from Api 1) of Android but the field DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS is available first in Version 4.4 (Api 19 - Kitkat).

Solution for me was to use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Documents" instead DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS for older Android Versions.
