You can use the mkdir() or mkdirs() method to create a new directory.
The mkdir() method creates a directory if the parent directories exists.
File newDir = new File("C:\\users\\home");
mkdirs() method will create the directory and its parents directories if it does not exist.
import java.io.File; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { File newDir = new File("C:\\users-1\\home"); boolean created = newDir.mkdir(); System.out.println(created);//from w w w . ja va 2 s . c o m created = newDir.mkdirs(); System.out.println(created); } }
