The default values are as follows. On a desktop \<location\> is `.`, on Android \<location\> is `DCIM/\<appname\>`. The value of \<subdir\> is the current date, the format is 'YYYY_MM_DD'. The value of \<name\> is the current time, the format is 'hh_mm_ss_xx' (xx is 1/100 sec).

The [filepath_callback](https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Camera4Kivy#filepath_callback) reports the actual path for a particular capture.

Be aware that on Android >= 10 shared storage files are saved in a database, called MediaStore, and not in a file system. The characteristics of Android storage are outside the scope of this document.

On Android the value can only be 'shared' or 'private', other values are ignored. The value 'shared' specifies Android shared storage `DCIM/\<appname\>` (this is also the default). The value 'private' specifies app local storage `app_storage_path()/DCIM`. If you want a different location use 'private' and move the resulting file based on the path provided by filepath_callback.

Note that it is a characteristic of Android >= 10 shared storage that a second capture with a same subdir and name values as the first will not overwrite the first. It will create a second file named `\<subdir\>/\<name\> (1).jpg`, the name is created by Android MediaStore. The MediaStore may crash if it creates too many (31 ?) such names.
