Do you need to do any further closing on an FileOutputStream when using Bitmap.compress()?

Question

Most of the examples I have seen online have something similar to:

FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(someFilename);
someBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);

Is any additional work needed to close the stream and ensure that it was flushed to the disk properly?

Answer 1

You should definitely call close() on the stream :)
