Actually, use: File pathDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
That is, don't use toString() unless and until you actually need it. A File object is more useful. Don't perform string operations to construct file paths. For example, write File logDir = new File(pathDir, "logg"); logDir.mkdirs(); File logFile = new File(logDir, generateLogDirName()); OutputStream logStream = new FileOutputStream(logfile); BufferedWriter logWriter = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(logStream, "UTF-8")); No toString() method needed -- wanted!
