Save and Read Bitmap in Internal Storage

Refer to the last exercise "Pass Bitmap between activities", pass Bitmap as extra is not recommended for large bitmap. Saving in Internal Storage and read in second activity is an alternative.

It's a example to save and read bitmap in Internal Storage. In AndroidBitmapActivity class, the bitmaps are saved in Internal Storage, in MODE_PRIVATE (where the created file can only be accessed by the calling application). The bitmaps will be read in SecondActivity class.
