how can make this code in to a callable method class

I have these 2 lines of code that get called over and over. At the moment every time I want to use it I type it in. Was wondering how to put it into a callable method/class that I could instead something like FileLocation(); Thanks as always and I hope I have asked in the right way?

//App Location Tools
File StorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
String StorageDownloads = StorageDirectory.getAbsolutePath() + "/Download";

Then to call it I say

File Allcastfile = new File(StorageDownloads, "Each file i use");

I don´t understand exactly what You want, and I guess that´s the reason why nobody give You an answer until now. But if I try to guess what exactly You mean, I think You only don´t want to type this line of code every time You need it, right? So, for this small two lines, there is only a little bit of optimization. You can do it like this to get everytime the same folder path:

private String getFolderPath(){

File StorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
String StorageDownloads = StorageDirectory.getAbsolutePath() + "/Download";
return StorageDownloads;

}

and then You can always call:

String path = getFolderPath();

If this is not Your intension, You should make Your question a little bit more clear.

the other way is to make a global String:

private String StorageDownloads="";

and after setContentView in Your activity (for example):

File StorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
StorageDownloads = StorageDirectory.getAbsolutePath() + "/Download";

then You can use storageDownloads every time You need.
