On different Android platforms, you can have problems with writing to some folders. I would scan to system picture directory because you always have access to it.

File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File file = new File(path, "MyScanPicture.jpg");

Note, DIRECTORY_DCIM is the traditional location for pictures and videos when mounting the device as a camera. DIRECTORY_PICTURES is standard directory in which to place pictures that are available to the user.

On the other hand, its bad practice asking user unnecessary question (open file manager in your case).
