Save the image from an ImageView(captured from camera) in my custom defined folder in the INTERNAL MEMORY

Question

I have been referring various posts and sites and I have been trying this since 3 days and I cannot figure this out!

My Activity has 2 buttons! First one is Capture and second one is Save. On pressing the capture button, I need to launch the camera and then when we click the picture and click on OK., the image is set to the ImageView in the activity. Now, when I click on the save button., I need to save the image in the internal memory in my own folder which must appear in the File explorer. Say MyCustomFolder>Pictures>MyCapture.jpg

I have tried several examples but what I was able to do in one case was to store images in default directories such as Downloads or DCIM or PICTURES.

In other case, I was able to store the picture in Android>data>com.example.shravan.camera>files>Pictures>myImage.jpg

In the case I am posting here, I am able to save the image in /data/user/0/com.example.shravan.asbdbsadbsabcxscsa/app_mydir/myfile

Here I have one more method saveFile which is being commented as I am getting FileNotFound exception as always!

However, I am not able to save in my own customfolder. Please check the code and help me and let me know if I am missing something!

Code:

MainActivity.java

    }

    public void Capture(View v){
        Intent i = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        startActivityForResult(i,REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

            imageUri=data.getData();
            iv.setImageURI(imageUri);
        }
    }

    public void savee(View v){

        BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) iv.getDrawable();
        Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();
        File mydir = context.getDir("mydir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); 
        File fileWithinMyDir = new File(mydir, "myfile"); 
        try {
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileWithinMyDir);
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
            print("path is"+fileWithinMyDir.getAbsolutePath());
            fos.flush();
            fos.close();
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void saveFile(View v){
        Context context =this;
        BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) iv.getDrawable();
        Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();
        File mydir = context.getFilesDir();
        String filename = "Arunachala/Shravan/Images/MyImage.jpg";
        File file = new File(mydir, filename);       
        file.mkdirs();     
        print("path is"+file.getAbsolutePath());
        try {
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
            print("path is"+file.getAbsolutePath());
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
            fos.flush();
            fos.close();
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
        catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void print(String s){
        Log.d(TAG, s);
    }

}

Please help!

Got it working:

Code for saving:

    FileOutputStream outStream = null;
    File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    File dir = new File(sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + "/camtest");
    dir.mkdirs();
    String fileName = String.format("%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis());
    File outFile = new File(dir, fileName);
    outStream = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outStream);
    outStream.flush();
    outStream.close();
    refreshGallery(outFile);

Permissions:

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

Finally:

Go to Device Settings>Device>Applications>Application Manager>"your app">Permissions>Enable Storage permission!
