Question

I can\'t figure out what\'s going wrong here...I\'ve tried writing this more succicinctly, that didn\'t work. I put in all the extra strings after reading other suggestions

Answer 1

You are not using Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES correctly. It is not a folder by itself, you need to use it as a parameter to getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() method. Check here : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(java.lang.String)

Answer 2

Just change the begining of your code from this:

public void outputBitmap(){ 
    String path = Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES.toString();
    File folder = new File(path + "/Blabla");

To this:

public void outputBitmap(){File folder = new File(getActivity().getExternalFilesDir(null) + IMAGE_DIRECTORY + "whatever you want for your directory name");

Answer 3

Possible Issue:

Make sure you have given following required permission in your manifest file.

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

And for Marhsmallow devices, make sure Contacts Groups Permissions is granted too by device user.
