Answer 1

I don't know if this can help you but this is how I save a file to the SD card and it works.

        public void saveToSD(Bitmap outputImage){


            File storagePath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/MyPhotos/"); 
            storagePath.mkdirs(); 

            File myImage = new File(storagePath, Long.toString(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg");

            try { 
                FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(myImage); 
                outputImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 80, out); 
                out.flush();    
                out.close();
            } catch (Exception e) { 
                e.printStackTrace(); 
            }               
        }

Why don't you use the camera activity and save images to internal storage by creating temp folder that has writable permission which allow other application to write to this folder and take the image to its path and then after the camera activity return you can move the image to another internal storage folder but with private permission as follow

//the temp folder to start the camera activity with
String path = getDir("images", Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE).getPath() + "/test.jpg";

//start the camera activity
File file = new File(path);
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);

Intent intent = new Intent(
android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_ACTIVITY);

and in onActivityResult method move it to folder with private permission it will work fine as I tested it
