Not able to write image in desired folder in android

Question

String fileName = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())+".jpg";
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/puzzlemaker/";
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try{
    File file = new File(path);
file.mkdirs();
outStream = new FileOutputStream(path + fileName);
outStream.write(data);
}catch(FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch(IOException e1){
e1.printStackTrace();
}finally{
try{
    outStream.close();
}catch(Exception e2){
    e2.printStackTrace();
}
}

The above code I have written to write an image in my described directory inside the sdcard. But everytime the image is stored inside the sdcard itself but not inside my described directory.

NOTE: I have already searched a lot of answers in the stackoverflow, but every answer is similar to this code. So I am unable to find the problem.

I have already uses the permission for writting in the external storage device in the manifest file.

Please help me, where I have the problem.

Where exactly is it stored then? Try to look at what is in path and fileName, that might give you a hint what is wrong — Tim, Feb 24 '12 at 09:51
It is storing in the sdcard directory of the Gallery application. — Chandra Sekhar, Feb 24 '12 at 10:10
is the directory created on the sd card? `file.mkdirs()` returns true if successful and false otherwise. Is it returning true? — triad, Feb 24 '12 at 10:10
I've just run his code and it works since we have file.mkdirs() before saving it — Cuong Thai, Feb 24 '12 at 10:18

You need to create that directory before writing to it file.mkdirs();
