[TIMOB-9528] Android: Saved Camera images are not getting stored on sdcard but the internal storage

Problem

Cannot Save the images taken by camera on the external directory by this method: Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.externalStorageDirectory, 'PlayGroundPhotos'); The sample code is here: {noformat} var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor:'white' }); Titanium.Media.showCamera({ success:function(event) { var cropRect = event.cropRect; var image = event.media; Ti.API.debug('Our type was: '+event.mediaType); if(event.mediaType == Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO) { /******** capture image in a imageView ********/ var imageView = Ti.UI.createImageView({ width:win.width, height:win.height, image:event.media }); win.add(imageView); /******** rotate the imageView ************/ var transformCurrentPicture = Titanium.UI.create2DMatrix(); imageView.addEventListener('click',function(e){ transformCurrentPicture = transformCurrentPicture.rotate(90); imageView.animate({transform:transformCurrentPicture}); savePhoto('Hello.png',imageView.toBlob()); }); // savePhoto('Hello',imageView.toBlob()); } else { alert("got the wrong type back ="+event.mediaType); } }, cancel:function() { }, error:function(error) { // create alert var a = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({title:'Camera'}); // set message if (error.code == Titanium.Media.NO_CAMERA) { a.setMessage('Please run this test on device'); } else { a.setMessage('Unexpected error: ' + error.code); } // show alert a.show(); }, saveToPhotoGallery:true, allowEditing:true, mediaTypes:[Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO,Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO] }); win.open(); /******* function to save the image **********/ function savePhoto(photoName,photoToSave){ var photoPath = ''; var photoDir = ''; //Check for photo dir and create if not there if (Titanium.Filesystem.isExternalStoragePresent()){ photoDir = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.externalStorageDirectory, 'PlayGroundPhotos'); if ( ! photoDir.exists()){ photoDir.createDirectory(); } } //check for photo dir and create if not there locally since no external storage else{ photoDir = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, 'PlayGroundPhotos'); if ( ! photoDir.exists()) { photoDir.createDirectory(); } else{ alert('photoDir exists'); } } //At this point we know if SD card exists and have created photo directory if needed photoPath = photoDir.nativePath; alert('The photopath is: '+photoPath); var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(photoPath,photoName); f.write(photoToSave); } {noformat} The above code saves the image in internal phone storage even when sdcard is present on the phone. Tested with HTC Sensation 4G, Motorola Atrix (2.3.3 Android OS) *NOTE: Running the above code in 1.8.2 SDK saves it in the correct location (external storage)*
