How to correctly upload an image to the internal memory of the device in the created folder and get the path to the image?

Question

Java

This is required for SQLite. I created the folder where the images should be downloaded. I can get the path to the folder. But the main problem is downloading the image itself. Picasso and Glide work through Bitmap, I want a more direct download, without converting. Is it possible? Or does it have to be a Bitmap to download or a byte[]?

Answer 1

1. byte[], it seems to me, is mandatory - you download the file into it via InputStream.
2. Bitmap is needed if you want to manipulate the image.
