This app i am making is taking pictures and saving it to sdcard but the images are not being shown in gallery...Is there something wrong with my code
public void takepicture(View view){
try{
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
//To store public files
File directory=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
, "Myapp Pictures");
if(!directory.exists())
directory.mkdir();
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp =
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "Img" + timeStamp + ".jpg";
file=new File(directory, imageFileName);
if(!file.exists())
file.createNewFile();
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.getCause();
}
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
mImageUri=Uri.fromFile(file);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageUri);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, actioncode);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if(requestCode == actioncode){
if((file.length())==0){
file.delete();
}
try{
if(resultCode==Activity.RESULT_OK){
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
galleryAddPic(file.toString());
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.getCause();
}
}
}
The image is being shown in the imageview as well as saved to the desired directory but now shown in gallery And finally this is the code for adding to gallery
public void galleryAddPic(String file) {
Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
File f = new File(file);
Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);
this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
}
Try this:
public void galleryAddPic(String file) {
File f = new File(file);
Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE,contentUri);
sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
}
