Save function public void saveImage(Bitmap bitmap) {

    String fname = path + " pic" + ".jpg";
    File file = new File (dir, fname);
    //if (file.exists ()) file.delete (); 
    try {
           FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
           image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);

           out.close();

    } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Function to make folder in SD Card. I have called this after setContentView and call saveImage function when i want to save it

public void makeFolderInSdCard() {
    path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/MyFolder/";
    dir = new File(path);
    if(!dir.exists())
        dir.mkdirs();
}

is there any expection you are getting, just check your logcat once? — Techfist, Jul 25 '14 at 06:55
your logcat clearly says, file you are trying to use does not exist, i see code for creating file is there, so the assumption i can make is you havnt emulated external stroage in your emulator. — Techfist, Jul 25 '14 at 07:17

have you added the permission in manifest file?

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

Try after removing file.delete(). – SWAG Jul 25 '14 at 06:45

Create a folder in your sd card after **setContentView()**as follows:

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/MyFolder/";
File dir = new File(path);
if(!dir.exists())
    dir.mkdirs();

Then create a new file as follows:

String s = path + "pic" + ".jpg";
File newfile = new File(s);

Then use the FileOutputStream to store your image. Hope this helps. Also, why did you use file.delete()?

// Instead of this

   String fname = path + " pic" + ".jpg";
   File file = new File (dir, fname);

// use this

String fname = "pic" + ".jpg";
File file = new File (dir , fname);

Check your log file properly. It is showing "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/sdcard/MyFolder/storage/sdcard/MyFolder/ pic.jpg".

Here "/storage/sdcard/MyFolder" is repeated, which looks like invalid path. So Valid path should be "/storage/sdcard/MyFolder/pic.jpg".

You need to set of permissions and features in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Add following in your AndroidManifest.xml

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE – Required to store images

it should look like this:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="14"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<!-- Accessing camera hardware -->
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />

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

....

then you need a directory name to store your captured image

private static final String IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME = "name of your directory";

then a file url to store image

private Uri fileUri;

Also you going to use MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT to specify a path where the image has to be stored sample code below:

intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
