    File file = new File(getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(dirName) + "/" + dirName);

    your method returns File, which is a directory. now you have to create new image file object

    File dir = createDirectory("imagesDirectory");
File file = new File(dir.getAbsolutePath(), "imageName.jpg");
FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);

    now you have to compress your Bitmap as JPG (as name set above) and feed this stream

    Bitmap pictureBitmap = ...; // your image
pictureBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, outStream);

    and don’t foregt to close stream

    outStream.flush();
outStream.close();

    if you want lossless format you can use PNG (Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG), don’t forget to name your file extension accordingly

    you can only write in your app-specific files

    File dir_ = new File(context.getFilesDir(), "YOUR_DIR");
dir_.mkdirs();

    you can use the function "getExternalFilesDir" and you change the value between in parenthesis. Here I put "Environment.DIRECTORY8DCIM" but there are others (you can check in the android developer web site).

    I show you an exemple:

    private fun getOutputMediaFile(): File? {


        val mediaStorageDir = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM).let {
                File(it, "[name_folder]").apply { mkdirs() } }

        Log.v(TAG, "storage: $mediaStorageDir") ///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/[name_of_your_program]/files/DCIM/[name_folder]

        if (!mediaStorageDir?.exists()!!){
            if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
                Log.v(TAG, "Failed to create directory")
                return null
            }
        }
}

    Hope that work for you 🙂
