My app uses the phone camera to take pictures and save them in a specific folder. I can't see them with Android Gallery or plugging into my pc, but I can using a file manager app. I found a solution to this: I rename pictures with a file manager app and the I can see them in the gallery.
The code I'm using is:
Intent camera = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
String dirName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/MyAPP/APP"+ n +".jpg";
Uri uriSavedImage = Uri.fromFile(new File(dirName));
camera.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,uriSavedImage);
startActivityForResult(camera, 1);
n++;
AndroidManifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="false" />
I just needed to add some code to scan the picture and add it to the gallery
private void addGallery() {
Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
String currentPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ "/MyAPP/APP" + n + ".jpg";
File f = new File(currentPath);
Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);
this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
}
I added it in onActivityResult and it works
