If I save a Bitmap called "picture.jpg" in internal storage and some steps later I save another Bitmap called "picture.jpg" too, what happens then? Does the second Bitmap overwrite the first or are there two Bitmaps with the same name then?

You **can't have** two files with the same name and same extension. If the file is open, you'll get an error, else it's overwritten by the new one. – Phantômaxx Apr 28 '14 at 15:28

So the second Bitmap will overwrite the first? That would be good. – L3n95 Apr 28 '14 at 15:55

If the first is **not already open** in some context. Or you'll get an error (which you can intercept and manage). – Phantômaxx Apr 28 '14 at 15:57

It will show you an error, I suggest you could use a dynamic file name or delete it before saving, in the case of dynamic, you could use something like this:
static int fCount = 0;
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator + "/test" + String.valueOf(fCount++) +".jpg" );
Or
File file = new File(getExternalCacheDir(), "test.jpg" ); if (file.exists()) { boolean deleted = file.delete(); }
