Answer 1

This is what I ended up using. It handles the case where there is an existing file with the same name by adding an integer to the file name.

@NonNull
private static File renameFile(@NonNull File from, 
                               @NonNull String toPrefix, 
                               @NonNull String toSuffix) {
    File directory = from.getParentFile();
    if (!directory.exists()) {
        if (directory.mkdir()) {
            Log.v(LOG_TAG, "Created directory " + directory.getAbsolutePath());
        }
    }
    File newFile = new File(directory, toPrefix + toSuffix);
    for (int i = 1; newFile.exists() && i < Integer.MAX_VALUE; i++) {
        newFile = new File(directory, toPrefix + '(' + i + ')' + toSuffix);
    }
    if (!from.renameTo(newFile)) {
        Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Couldn't rename file to " + newFile.getAbsolutePath());
        return from;
    }
    return newFile;
}
