Trying to save a file but getting "Parent directory of file does not exist" even after trying to create dir

I'm trying to save an image to my sdcard but running into the following error:

java.io.IOException: Parent directory of file does not exist: /sdcard/skdyImages/a46e2e08-9154-4fe7-96e8-2af0a7a92867.jpg

I do have the p开发者_JAVA技巧ermissions in my manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Here is my code:

String newName = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
            Bitmap bmp = ImageLoader.getInstance().getBitmap(e.getUrl());
            File file = new File("/sdcard/skdyImages", newName + ".jpg");
            file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
            file.createNewFile();
            BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
            bmp.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
            out.flush();
            out.close();

Any ideas?

Try something like this...

// Automatically creates folder on sdcard called /Android/data/<package>/files
// if it doesn't exist
File ImageDir = new File(getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath());

BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(ImageDir + "/" + newName + ".jpg"));
