in android, you don't really have to worry if a path exists in order to create it. The code below creates all the directories but doesn't overwrite an existing one.

File myDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "/parent/child";
        myDirectory.mkdirs();

to check if a file exists on internal storage. (that's from stackoverflow. I haven't tested it)

File file = getBaseContext().getFileStreamPath(fname);
    return file.exists();
