            copyDirectory(f, newFile);
    } else {
...
booleancopyDirectory(File from, File to)
Copy a directory and all of its contents. 
return copyDirectory(from, to, (byte[]) null);
voidcopyDirectory(File inDir, File outDir)
copy Directory 
if (!inDir.isDirectory()) {
    return;
for (File f : inDir.listFiles()) {
    File outFile = new File(outDir, f.getName());
    if (f.isDirectory()) {
        outFile.mkdirs();

...
booleancopyDirectory(File inDir, File outDir)
Copy a complete directory tree from one directory to another.

} else {
    if (destination.isDirectory()) {
        copyFile(source, new File(destination, source.getName()));
    } else {
        copyFile(source, destination);
voidcopyDirectory(File source, File destination)
