How to copy the sample images from the drawable folder to the sdcard folder, programmaticaly?

I have pictures/images in my drawable folder and I want to copy all of it in my sdcard folder with that same quality and details? If I have for example this.

Integer[] mThumbIds = {
        R.drawable.pic_1, R.drawable.pic_2,
        R.drawable.pic_3, R.drawable.pic_4,
        R.drawable.pic_5, R.drawable.pic_6,
        R.drawable.pic_7
};

And then my app creates an own directory in sdcard, like this:

String newFolder = "/myFolder2";
String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myNewFolder = new File(extStorageDirectory + newFolder);
myNewFolder.mkdir();

How can I achieve to transfer all those pictures in drawable to the created folder in sdcard with the same quality and details?

These images in drawable folder can be accessed by BitmapFactory, you can save the bitmap to PNG or JPG.

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
    File sd = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    String fileName = "test.png";
    File dest = new File(sd, fileName);
    try {
        FileOutputStream out;
        out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
        out.flush();
        out.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

For other type of images, I think put them into assets folder is a better way.
