`This is Code to Create Folder inside a file in SD card` Well that is not possible. You cannot create a folder in a file. Nowhere. — greenapps, May 21 '17 at 08:12
Well also adobe flex cannot create a folder in a file. Why dont you react? — greenapps, May 21 '17 at 08:56
In debug mode, folder and inside pdf file is created Successfully, but when i export to release mode that time app is not create folder in sd card. — Rajan Klsenter, May 21 '17 at 09:06
Why app is working fine in debug mode, not in release mode.???? — Rajan Klsenter, May 21 '17 at 09:08
@greenapps I suspect a language barrier rather than "attempting the obviously impossible" here — Brian, May 23 '17 at 11:32

You should try to write your traces (like permission status, pdfFolder.exists and so on) into a textField so you can localize the problem in the release mode.

Also listen to IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR and SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR on your targetFile and trace them to the textField, maybe there are some problems with that.

Normally you should save the application files in the File.applicationStorageDirectory (and not in the userDirectory), but I guess you want the user to be able to access the files on his own?

Try a folder without the dot ("Folder" instead of ".Folder").

On Android you'll need to grant permissions for writing the files in your application.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>             
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

Logcat also helps with this kind of debugging. – Brian May 23 '17 at 11:30
Hi Philarmon and Brain, I have tested in all above steps. But in release mode "unable to create the Folder" means "Template.showFile(targetFile.nativePath);" methos not called. – Rajan Klsenter May 24 '17 at 02:59
I think in release mode, if(library.Utility.getDeviceType() == "ANDROID") this is not calling...?? – Rajan Klsenter May 24 '17 at 03:16
Right, Logcat is also awesome for spotting problems. @RajanKlsenter - what is this library you are using for Android detection? Try the native if(Platform.isAndroid)... – Philarmon May 24 '17 at 07:34
Thank you all, Issues Fixed. – Rajan Klsenter May 25 '17 at 09:41
