Android moving a photo from one folder to another

I'm using the below code to transfer an image from one folder on external memory, to another..as specified by the user. The problem is, the photo gets copied to the destination folder fine..but I can't open or view it. I use a file manager named Astro to see if it was successfully moved, and it is..but I'm unable to open it both in Astro and in the resident Gallery app. I'm thinking something is wrong with my code and maybe I need read and/or decode to photo before I can move it, from what I understand about the File class it is just an abstraction. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated, here is the code I'm currently using.

 File img = new File(imgViewPath);

    File output = new
                              File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/MyAppPics/" + moved,
                         img.getName()); 


OutputStream out = null;
try {
   out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(output));
        }
 finally {
 if (out != null) {
      out.close();
}
}
}catch(Exception e){
                                     e.printStackTrace();
 }

You are not writing anything to the output stream. Read the bytes from the input stream and write it to the output stream, only then the files will get copied.
