How to Hide FilePicker images from Gallery? and How to store those images in a folder inside external storage?

Question

I am getting customers documents using FilePicker . After opening FilePicker it shows options to take images from gallery as well as camera .

After taking images , images are visible inside gallery but But i don't want images to be visible inside gallery . and i know there are already questions about hiding images from gallery but not from FilePicker .

What should i do ? I think saving images inside a folder Android/App/data inside internal/external storage will do it . But how to get the folder location and save images there . ? or any other solution that can help?

here is code inside onClick() method .

if (view == pickPhotoBtn) {
        FilePickerBuilder.getInstance().setMaxCount(10)
                .setActivityTheme(R.style.AppTheme3)
                .pickPhoto(getActivity());
  }

and this is onActivityResult() method .

 @Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    switch (requestCode) {

        case FilePickerConst.REQUEST_CODE_PHOTO:

            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {
                Log.e(TAG, "onActivityResult: ");
                for (String path : data.getStringArrayListExtra(FilePickerConst.KEY_SELECTED_PHOTOS)) {
                    String fileName = CommonMethod.getFileNameFromPath(path);

                    if (!documentNameList.contains(fileName) && !selectPhotosPath.contains(path) && selectPhotosPath.size() < 10) {
                        selectPhotosPath.add(path);
                        File file = new File(path);
                        Log.e(TAG, "Image Name: " + fileName);
                        documentNameList.add(fileName);
                        documentIdList.add(0);
                        selectPhotosBitmap.add(CommonMethod.compressImage(file, getContext()));
                    }
                }

                adapter.addItems(selectPhotosBitmap);
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                Log.e(TAG, "Number Of Files: " + selectPhotosPath.size());
            }

    }
}

You can save your image in app internal storage and by default no one can access you app internal storage as it is private for other. You can check below link how to storage and retrive image from internal storage
