Android camera is not saved in specific folder [MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA]

Question

I have a problem when I use MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA in intent. The camera starts up correctly, but does not save the files in my "/ photo" folder. But when I use MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, it works fine, but I can not use it because it only takes one photo each time. I need a camera and the user takes a lot of photos. After he closes the camera, and all the photos will be saved in my specific folder.

Thank you for your help.

MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA This intent does not support the results of activities or specific output intent files. This intention is to simply open the camera. The functionality you are looking for does not exist in Android.
