Creating a new directory using Kotlin, Mkdir() doesn't work

Question

var wallpaperDirectory = File(\"/sdcard/Wallpaper\")
 wallpaperDirectory.mkdirs()
val outputFile = File(wallpaperDirectory, filename)
val          


        

Answer 1

You can also use also to do this:

File("path_to_file").also {
                              file -> file.parentFile.mkdirs()
                          }.writeBytes(bytes)

Answer 2

This works perfectly on Kotlin

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    var filename = "blesson.txt"
    // create a File object for the parent directory
    val wallpaperDirectory = File("/sdcard/Wallpaper/")
    // have the object build the directory structure, if needed.
    wallpaperDirectory.mkdirs()
    // create a File object for the output file
    val outputFile = File(wallpaperDirectory, filename)
    // now attach the OutputStream to the file object, instead of a String representation
    try {
      val fos = FileOutputStream(outputFile)
    } catch (e: FileNotFoundException) {
      e.printStackTrace()
    }

  }
}
