Placing files manually in external storage

Question

I am new to Android. My question is: Can we put files on external storage folder (not hard coding but placing them manually) and make the app read them. Suppose a folder like myfiles/sdcard0/android/data/com.tmm.example/filestorage Now I want to place a file in that folder on my phone. Can I do that? I don't find any "add file" option there...the only thing I find is "create folder"...

If we can, how to do that?

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

You cannot create files using the stock file browser on Android, for this you need a new app. The best one on the Google Market (free) is this app: ES File Explorer

1. Download and open the app
2. Navigate to your external storage folder
3. Click the "New" button on the bottom left
4. Then in the new option window, choose "File"
5. That's it

Hope that helps.
