check this if it helps you.

preview.setImageURI(Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/Echo/Images/"+file_name));

that how i do it...

public final static String APP_PATH_SD_CARD = "/DesiredSubfolderName/";
public final static String APP_THUMBNAIL_PATH_SD_CARD = "thumbnails";

public boolean saveImageToExternalStorage(Bitmap image) {
String fullPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + APP_PATH_SD_CARD + APP_THUMBNAIL_PATH_SD_CARD;

try {
File dir = new File(fullPath);
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdirs();
}

OutputStream fOut = null;
File file = new File(fullPath, "desiredFilename.png");
file.createNewFile();
fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);

// 100 means no compression, the lower you go, the stronger the compression
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();

MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(context.getContentResolver(), file.getAbsolutePath(), file.getName(), file.getName());

return true;

} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("saveToExternalStorage()", e.getMessage());
return false;
}
}
