No i don't want create a new folder. Rather want to save it in the built in wallpaper folder of phone. Is it possible ? – Ahmed Apr 20 '15 at 09:13
yes it is possible. but you need to confirm that there is any wallpapers folder...... try to get name of folders exist in phone, using this link..... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6917860/android-sd-card-directory-folders-name-list......... if there is wallpapers folder exist in list. then take path of that folder and save images to that folder... otherwise use above method – Tarun Sharma Apr 20 '15 at 10:50

Saving image to sdcard from drawble resource:

Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);

The path to SD Card can be retrieved using:

String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/FOLDERNAME/";

Then save to sdcard on button click using:

File file = new File(extStorageDirectory, "ic_launcher.PNG");
    outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
    bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outStream);
    outStream.flush();
    outStream.close();

Don't forget to add android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

String folder = "/sdcard/Pictures/MyAppFolder";
       Imageview  view = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.cachesView);

          view.buildDrawingCache(); 

        Bitmap yourBitmap = view.getDrawingCache();  
          final File myDir = new File(folder);
                myDir.mkdirs();
                final Random generator = new Random();
                int n = 10000;
                n = generator.nextInt(n);
                final String fname = "StyleMe-" + n + ".png";
                File file = new File(myDir, fname);
                if (file.exists())
                    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
