Store images to cache folder

[alihabbash]

How can I store images to the cache dir?
I tried to set the file path to cachedir but it store the copies to

/sdcard/data/user/0/com.ramiissa.dubaiing/cache

Also, how can I provide a static name for all created copies so, when a new copy is created the old one will be overwritten

Hi @alihabbash !
You should use useInternalStorage(), calling it the images will be saved in internal storage, otherwise in public storage

how can I provide a static name for all created copies so, when a new copy is created the old one will be overwritten

Right now the files are renamed using a date-time format ("yyyyMMdd_HHmm_ssSSS"), for instance, as Whatsapp does, in order to avoid duplicated names when processing several time at one shot

What about sdcard cache directories, like from getExternalCacheDir()?
Would be great to have an option to specify cache directory in the builder instead of defining it explicitly.

@cirnoftw I can't remember it clearly, but I guess we added setUseInternalStorage(boolean) option in order to make the API simplier and less error prone because getExternalCacheDir() could be not available since it is a removable media and could be ejected by the user but I could give it a thought.

Thanks for your suggestion!
