How to create directory in java

To create a directory in Java, uses the following code :
1. Create a single directory.

new File("C:\\Directory1").mkdir();

2. Create a directory named “Directory2 and all its sub-directories “Sub2″ and “Sub-Sub2″ together.

new File("C:\\Directory2\\Sub2\\Sub-Sub2").mkdirs()

Both methods are returning a boolean value to indicate the operation status : true if succeed, false otherwise.

Example

A classic Java directory example, check if directory exists, if no, then create it.

package com.mkyong.file;
 
import java.io.File;
 
public class CreateDirectoryExample
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {	
	File file = new File("C:\\Directory1");
	if (!file.exists()) {
		if (file.mkdir()) {
			System.out.println("Directory is created!");
		} else {
			System.out.println("Failed to create directory!");
		}
	}
 
	File files = new File("C:\\Directory2\\Sub2\\Sub-Sub2");
	if (files.exists()) {
		if (files.mkdirs()) {
			System.out.println("Multiple directories are created!");
		} else {
			System.out.println("Failed to create multiple directories!");
		}
	}
 
    }
}
