Check out the File.mkdir() and File.mkdirs() methods; they create one directory or a hierarchy of directories, respectively.

[Maha Hassan]

both are boolean
i want to set the file to a directory

Read the documentation: they create a directory, and return true or false to indicate success.

This does not create a file.
It creates a File object that represents an operating system file, but that file will not be created by this call.
