Android saving file to external storage

Question

I have a little issue with creating a directory and saving a file to it on my android application. I\'m using this piece of code to do this :

String filename         


        

Answer 1

I have created an AsyncTask for saving bitmaps.

public class BitmapSaver extends AsyncTask
{
    public static final String TAG ="BitmapSaver";

    private Bitmap bmp;

    private Context ctx;

    private File pictureFile;

    public BitmapSaver(Context paramContext , Bitmap paramBitmap)
    {
        ctx = paramContext;

        bmp = paramBitmap;
    }

    /** Create a File for saving an image or video */
    private  File getOutputMediaFile()
    {
        // To be safe, you should check that the SDCard is mounted
        // using Environment.getExternalStorageState() before doing this. 
        File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                + "/Android/data/"
                + ctx.getPackageName()
                + "/Files"); 

        // This location works best if you want the created images to be shared
        // between applications and persist after your app has been uninstalled.

        // Create the storage directory if it does not exist
        if (! mediaStorageDir.exists()){
            if (! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){
                return null;
            }
        } 
        // Create a media file name
        String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy_HHmm").format(new Date());
        File mediaFile;
            String mImageName="MI_"+ timeStamp +".jpg";
            mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + mImageName);  
        return mediaFile;

    } 
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... paramVarArgs)
    {   
        this.pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile();

        if (this.pictureFile == null) { return null; }

        try
        {
            FileOutputStream localFileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(this.pictureFile);
            this.bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, localFileOutputStream);
            localFileOutputStream.close();
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException localFileNotFoundException)
        {
            return null;
        }
        catch (IOException localIOException)
        {
        }
        return null;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Void paramVoid)
    {
        super.onPostExecute(paramVoid);

        try
        {
            //it will help you broadcast and view the saved bitmap in Gallery
            this.ctx.sendBroadcast(new Intent("android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED", Uri
                    .parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));

            Toast.makeText(this.ctx, "File saved", 0).show();

            return;
        }
        catch (Exception localException1)
        {
            try
            {
                Context localContext = this.ctx;
                String[] arrayOfString = new String[1];
                arrayOfString[0] = this.pictureFile.toString();
                MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(localContext, arrayOfString, null,
                        new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener()
                        {
                            public void onScanCompleted(String paramAnonymousString ,
                                    Uri paramAnonymousUri)
                            {
                            }
                        });
                return;
            }
            catch (Exception localException2)
            {
            }
        }
    }
