Android Save Image to SD Card
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>

<p>Added </p>

<p><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /&gt;</code> </p>

<p>to the manifest all works ok now.</p>

<p>Ok so I have a app I have started to create which in the end I want to be able to take a picture, which then takes you to another screen which lets you be able to "Use" or "Retake" the picture.</p>

<p>When the image is took it needs to be saved into a new folder on the SD Card, (if the folder is not there then it needs to create it). I had all this working a couple of weeks ago but after i did some editing and shut down eclipse I cant seem to get it back working?</p>

<p>The section for this is after <code>int imageNum = 0;</code> i have added <code>imagesFolder.mkdirs();</code> which i belive is correct to create a new folder but even this seems not to be working now.</p>

<p>Now the image just gets took and neither the new folder gets created or the image gets saved.</p>
