How to create a directory using the library java.io

[bachtoutou]

Hello evrybody
T want to create a directory which name exists in a JtextField "app" and the path is in a JtextField "mod".This directory is create when i press the button Jbutton2.I have developed a code but it dosen't create anything

Code:

private void jButton2_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
File fichier=new File (app.getText());
                        File fichier_parent=new File (mod.getText()); 
                        fichier_parent.mkdirs();
}

What about mkdir() method?

mkdirs is a better method to use, since it will create any parent directories as well.
My guess is there's something wrong with the way the path is specified. Are you sure the complete path is specified?

public class MakeFiles {
    private JPanel getContent() {
        final JTextField fileName = new JTextField(12);
        final JTextField parentName = new JTextField(12);
        JButton button = new JButton("make files");
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                String name = fileName.getText().trim();
                String parent = parentName.getText().trim();
                System.out.printf("check for file %s in %s%n",
                                   name, parent);
                File file = new File(parent, name);
                if(file.exists())
                    System.out.println("files exist");
                else
                    file.mkdirs();
            }
        });
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
        gbc.insets = new Insets(2,2,2,2);
        gbc.weighty = 1.0;
        gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;
        panel.add(new JLabel("file name"), gbc);
        gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
        panel.add(fileName, gbc);
        gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;
        panel.add(new JLabel("parent file name"), gbc);
        gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
        panel.add(parentName, gbc);
        gbc.gridwidth = 2;
        panel.add(button, gbc);
        return panel;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.add(new MakeFiles().getContent());
        f.setSize(300,160);
        f.setLocation(200,200);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
