I need to save picture to a Gallery, just to a normal place where the Photos are going. On SO I've found that Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM) is internal, no matter that it says ExternalStorage. But mkdirs always return me false.

 String mediaStorage  =
                Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM).getAbsolutePath() + "/Camera";
        File mediaStorageDir = new File(mediaStorage);
        if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
            if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.activity, "failed to create directory", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                return null;
            }
        }

Is there an easy way to save pics to an internal Gallery directory?

In case, my manifest has :

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

doesn't it return false because the directory already exists? – zarcel Aug 02 '17 at 15:42
@zarcel but it checks first for it – Vlad Alexeev Aug 02 '17 at 16:26
@CommonsWare no, I'm testing it on Android 4.3 – Vlad Alexeev Aug 02 '17 at 16:27
If you use `adb shell` to look, is the directory created? – CommonsWare Aug 02 '17 at 17:17
