    private static int RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE1 = 1;
    private static int RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE2 = 2;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.layout2);

        save = (Button) findViewById(R.id.savelayout2);
        save.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                ll.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
                Bitmap bitmap = ll.getDrawingCache();

                String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                        .toString();
                File newDir = new File(root + "/saved_picture");
                newDir.mkdirs();
                Random gen = new Random();
                int n = 10000;
                n = gen.nextInt(n);
                String fotoname = n + ".jpg";
                File file = new File(newDir, fotoname);
                String s = file.getAbsolutePath();
                Log.i("Path of saved image.", s);
                System.err.print("Path of saved image." + s);

                try {
                    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);

                    out.close();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Photo Saved",

                    Log.e("Exception", e.toString());
                }
            }

        });
        iv1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView21);
        iv1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {

                Intent i = new Intent(
                        Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                        android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

                startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE1);
            }
        });
        iv2 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView22);
        iv2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                Intent in = new Intent(
                        Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                        android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

                startActivityForResult(in, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE2);
            }
        });

    }

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

        if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK
                && null != data) {
            Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
            String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
                    filePathColumn, null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();

            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
            String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            cursor.close();

            try {

                iv1.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
        if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE2 && resultCode == RESULT_OK
                && null != data) {
            Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
            String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "in second",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            Log.i("Second", "in second");
            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
                    filePathColumn, null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();

            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
            String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            cursor.close();
            try {
                iv2.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

    }

}

The exception i am getting is:

04-17 13:19:33.908: I/Path of saved image.(30459): /mnt/sdcard/saved_picture/3400.jpg
04-17 13:19:33.918: E/Exception(30459): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/sdcard/saved_picture/3400.jpg (No such file or directory)

kindly check my whole code, and if you dont mind execute it once. I want to save LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linear2" in gallery. This layout contains two images — , Apr 17 '14 at 08:17
i tried and it works.. have you mention write storage permision in manifest file? — Sagar Maiyad, Apr 17 '14 at 08:23
@Achilles but what in the case if my phone is not habing sdcard but it is having internal storage of 4gb. Why is it not saving in that case?? in this case it is giving 04-17 14:03:37.910: I/Path of saved image.(18177): /storage/sdcard0/saved_picture/7828.jpg but it is not showing the image in gallery — , Apr 17 '14 at 08:36
first check that sdcard is available if yes then store into it otherwise store into internal storage. — Sagar Maiyad, Apr 17 '14 at 08:39

just add below permission in your manifest file:

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

EDIT:

Boolean isSDPresent = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED);

if(isSDPresent)
{
  // yes 
}
else
{
 // No
}
