While creating a directory, it is better to provide complete path instead of using cd

Use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to get the storage root directory.

Use the following command to create directory:

String filepath=Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/Music"
File fc=new File(filepath)
if(!fc.exists())       
        fc.mkdir();

Make sure you have added SDCard support to your AVD.

Go to eclipse - windows - avd manager - select avd and edit - hardware - new - SDCard Support

And then Try the Command.
