title: Get path to pictures directory
body: <p><br>I try to save an Image (Bitmap/byte[]) with my Xamarin.Android app.<br>
  I used</p>
  
  <pre><code>    private string getPathToFile(string fileName)
      {
          File dir = new File(Environment.GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DirectoryPictures), "imgen");
          if (dir.Exists())
          {
              dir.Mkdirs();
          }
  
          File image = new File(dir, fileName);
          return image.Path;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So the returned path looks something like this:<br></p>
  
  <pre><code>"/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/imgen/new.png"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this path does not exist on the emulator as I checked with the Android Device Monitor. <br>
  I read that this folder is some kind of link to a mnt/shell/emulated/... folder, which actually exists on the emulator.<br>
  But how can I retrieve this real path in my Application?</p>
