Please be a bit specific while asking question. There a lot of link on `how to capture image by camera` and `how to save bitmap in internal/external storage`. Browse them. — Kaidul, Aug 19 '13 at 23:51
I'm sorry, they are more specific, I need to capture pictures with the camera after saving these photos in a folder can be renamed (folder) in memory of the device after you pressed a button. — echo_mongi, Aug 20 '13 at 00:05

    private void doTakePhotoAction() {

    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    // 创建目录
    File fileDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
            + "/zuijiao");
    if (!fileDir.exists()) {
        fileDir.mkdirs();
    }
    // 拍照后的路径
    imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/zuijiao/"
            + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
    carmeraFile = new File(imagePath);
    imageCarmeraUri = Uri.fromFile(carmeraFile);

    intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
            imageCarmeraUri);

    try {
        intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
        startActivityForResult(intent, ACTION_TAKE_CARMERA);
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        // Do nothing for now
    }
}

and pls check the save file length, if length equal 0,you should delete it(some people open the camera but don't take a photo,there will have a empty file,delete it)

    @Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == ACTION_TAKE_CARMERA) 
    {

    }
}

you can do something after photo taken in this function.

there also have other ways to do this
