Explanation for a simple "saving the file" code

Question

I want to learn more about Android apps.
So, I want an explanation of the out=context.openFileOutput arguments .

public void saveImage(Context context, Bitmap b,String name,String extension){
name=name+"."+extension;
FileOutputStream out;
try {
    out = context.openFileOutput(name, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
    out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Any help will be appreciated.

try with this. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html# --> openFileOutput(java.lang.String, int) — mfruizs, Sep 05 '16 at 10:29

its really random in google search and the concepts they used are really hard to understand . — Mostafa Abbas, Sep 05 '16 at 11:08
What concepts are there? You know what method you are trying to use, so read the API — OneCricketeer, Sep 05 '16 at 16:42

out is a FileOutputStream that is created in order to save the Bitmap to the file that is created or opened by context.openFileOutput with the name of the value of name

Thank you for the answer . Do you think this fun. Will be work and what should i pass to the context arg. ? – Mostafa Abbas Sep 05 '16 at 20:11
Pass it whatever you want as long as the object types match. I'm not writing your app, so you have to test yourself if it works. (Any Activity class is a Context) – OneCricketeer Sep 05 '16 at 20:14
