Thanks. But I need help in combine your 2 ideas together.
In creating file using MODE_WORLD_READABLE , it returns a reference of
FileOutputStream, not File, how can i get call the getAbsolutePath?
File#getAbsolutePath() to get the fully-qualified path.
try {
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput
("temp-picture",
MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
