    File f = new File(_location + dir); 

    if(!f.isDirectory()) { 
      f.mkdirs(); 
    } 
  } 
} 

In your case::

String zipFilename = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/files.zip"; 
String unzipLocation = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/unzipped/"; 

Decompress d = new Decompress(zipFilename, unzipLocation); 
d.unzip();
