Method

Blocking API

public void Backendless.Files.createDirectory( path )

Non-Blocking API

public void Backendless.Files.createDirectory( path, AsyncCallback<Void> responder )

where:

Argument	Description
path	String value. Specify the path where a directory must be created, for instance the "/TestDirectory/TestSubDirectory/" creates two directories, where the "TestDirectory" is the main directory that is created in the root folder of the Backendless, and the "TestSubDirectory" is the subdirectory created in the "TestDirectory". You can create any number of subdirectories in one request.
responder	A responder object which receives a callback when the method successfully completes or if an error occurs.

Return Value

None.

Example

The example below creates a new directory called "TestDir" and the subdirectory "SubTestDir".

Blocking API

Backendless.Files.createDirectory( "/TestDir/SubTestDir" );

Non-Blocking API

Backendless.Files.createDirectory( "/TestDir/SubTestDir", new AsyncCallback<Void>()
{
  @Override
  public void handleResponse( Void response )
  {
    // result handling logic
  }

  @Override
  public void handleFault( BackendlessFault fault )
  {
    // error handling logic
  }
} );

Codeless Reference

where:

Argument	Description
directory path	Specify the path where a directory it must be created, for instance the "/TestDirectory/TestSubDirectory/" creates two directories, where the "TestDirectory" is the main directory that is created in the root folder of the Backendless, and the "TestSubDirectory" is the subdirectory created in the "TestDirectory". You can create any number of subdirectories in one request.

The example below creates the new directory called "TestDir" and the subdirectory "SubTestDir".

The output will look as shown below after the Codeless logic runs:
