                boolean success = false;
                if (!folder.exists()) {
                    success = folder.mkdirs();
                }

                     try {

                       File storagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
                       OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream (storagePath + "/myImage.png");
                       try {
                            byte[] buffer = new byte[1500];
                             int bytesRead = 0;
                             while ((bytesRead = input.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) >= 0) {
                             output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                             }
                             } finally {
                               output.close();
                              }
                              } finally {
                              input.close();
                              }

Please help me fix this code.

So what have you actually tried? Because the code above shows nothing that has to do with downloading an image and saving it. — Sander van't Veer, May 28 '13 at 11:14
you have done NOTHING about download the image, you just checked if the Directory (PerfectAss) exists and created it if not. Search for get image from url on android. PS: WHAT THE HELL your app will do? What kind of name u put on the image directory. Remember about Google Play Content Policy — JannGabriel, May 28 '13 at 11:20

have you include permission into your manifest file

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

And try this code

Or then try this code,it will work

URL url = new URL ("file://some/path/anImage.png");
InputStream input = url.openStream();

try {
    //The sdcard directory e.g. '/sdcard' can be used directly, or 
    //more safely abstracted with getExternalStorageDirectory()
    File storagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream (storagePath + "/myImage.png");

    try {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[aReasonableSize];
        int bytesRead = 0;

        while ((bytesRead = input.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) >= 0) {
            output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
        }
    } finally { output.close(); }
} finally { input.close(); }
