how can i overwrite a file if it exists in directory
<p>i'm saving image in my directory with same name (for a purpose) but when file is already exists there it won't get overwritten , how do i know that ? because when i'm saving this file the already existing file is not changing but when i use a different name for my file it works. so what i want is to replace the existing file with a new one. so far this is what i'm trying :</p>

<pre><code> content.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
                Bitmap bitmap = content.getDrawingCache(); // an bitmap file for saving


                File file = new File(context.getApplicationContext().getFilesDir() + "/img.jpg"); //here's the path where i'm saving my file

                if (file.exists()){

                    file.delete(); // here i'm checking if file exists and if yes then i'm deleting it but its not working 
                }


                String path = file.getPath();

                try {
                    file.createNewFile();
                    FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 60, ostream);


                    savedFile = new File(path);


                    ostream.close();
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    e.printStackTrace();

                }
</code></pre>

<p>i'm doing another check right after deleting existing file :</p>

<pre><code>                if (file.exists()){

                    Toast.makeText(context , "Still EXISTS",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
</code></pre>

<p>and this time file is not here cause the toast is not appearing.</p>
