Saving image taken from camera into INTERNAL stora

I just got started in Android Programming and I am creating an android application in which the user is allowed to key in information, take a picture with ImageView implemented and SAVE the information. I've gotten up to the point where I am able to display the image taken into ImageView. However, I am unable to save the image taken into my phone's internal storage. Which means, whenever I try to save the information, including the ImageView (image from camera), only the image disappears. I've followed this guide on http://www.androidhive.info/2013/09/android-working-with-camera-api/ but it does not work as my phone has no SD card storage.

I've read a bunch of questions on here but they do not fix the problem.

So if anyone could give me a detailed procedure on how to edit this code in such a way that I can save/read the image into/from my INTERNAL storage that would be great! Thank you.

/**
 * returning image / video
 */
private static File getOutputMediaFile(int type) {

    // External sdcard location
    File mediaStorageDir = new File(
            Environment
                    .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),
            IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME);

    // Create the storage directory if it does not exist
    if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
        if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
            Log.d(IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME, "Oops! Failed create "
                    + IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME + " directory");
            return null;
        }
    }
}

This is my current code:

private static final String IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME = "Hello Camera";
private Uri fileUri; // file url to store image/video
private ImageView ItemPic;
private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 100;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.new_entry);

    date = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date);
    amount = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.amount);
    item = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.item);

    add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.add_b);
    add.setOnClickListener(onAdd);

    camera = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.camera);
    camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
       @Override
       public void onClick(View v) {
           // capture picture
           captureImage();
          //  Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
           // startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
       }
   });

    ItemPic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.itempic);

    entryId = getIntent().getStringExtra("ID");
    if (entryId != null) {
        load();
    }
}

    /*

*/
private void captureImage() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

    fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);

    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);

    // start the image capture Intent

    // save file url in bundle as it will be null on scren orientation

}

@Override

    // get the file url

            // successfully captured the image
            // display it in image view
            previewCapturedImage();
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            // user cancelled Image capture
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "User cancelled image capture", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
        } else {
            // failed to capture image

getOutputMediaFile() is returning a directory, not a file. You need to specify a path to a (not-yet-existing) file where you want the image to be written.

This is illustrated in this activity from this sample application:

package com.commonsware.android.camcon;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import java.io.File;

public class CameraContentDemoActivity extends Activity {
  private static final int CONTENT_REQUEST=1337;
  private File output=null;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Intent i=new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    File dir=
        Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM);

    output=new File(dir, "CameraContentDemo.jpeg");
    i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(output));

    startActivityForResult(i, CONTENT_REQUEST);
  }

  @Override
  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
                                  Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == CONTENT_REQUEST) {
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

        i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(output), "image/jpeg");
        startActivity(i);
        finish();
      }
    }
  }
}
