convert android.graphics.Bitmap to java.io.File

This should do it:

private static void persistImage(Bitmap bitmap, String name) {
  File filesDir = getAppContext().getFilesDir();
  File imageFile = new File(filesDir, name + ".jpg");

  OutputStream os;
  try {
    os = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, os);
    os.flush();
    os.close();
  } catch (Exception e) {
    Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Error writing bitmap", e);
  }
}

Change the Bitmap.CompressFormat and extension to suit your purpose.
