Try out the Below Code :

File sdDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
            File wwwjdicDir = new File(sdDir.getAbsolutePath() + "/your_folder_name");
            if (!wwwjdicDir.exists()) {
                wwwjdicDir.mkdir();
            }

            if (!wwwjdicDir.canWrite()) {
                return;
            }

try like

       File dir = new File(DEFAULT_STORAGE_LOCATION);
        // test dir for existence and writeability
        if (!dir.exists()) {
            try {
                dir.mkdirs();
            } catch (Exception e) {   
                return null;
            }
        } else {
            if (!dir.canWrite()) {
                   return null;
                 // do your work here
            }
        }

If this is your code

File songDirectory = new `File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/iAC2013");

you need to chagne it to this

File songDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/iAC2013");
