Images not showing in gallery

I am working on the Whats'up status saver app. The status images are showing in the file manager but are not showing in the gallery.
Here is my code
public void downlaodImage(StatusModel statusModel) throws IOException {
File file = new File(MyContanst.APP_DIRECTORY);
if (!file.exists()){
file.mkdirs();
}
File destFile = new File(file+ File.separator+statusModel.getTitle());
if (destFile.exists()){
destFile.delete();
}
copyFile(statusModel.getPath(), destFile);
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "File saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
intent.setData(Uri.fromFile(destFile));
getActivity().sendBroadcast(intent);
}
private void copyFile(String file, File destFile) throws IOException {
if (!destFile.getParentFile().exists()){
destFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
}
if (!destFile.exists()){
destFile.createNewFile();
}
FileChannel src = null;
FileChannel dst = null;
src = new FileInputStream(file).getChannel();
dst = new FileOutputStream(destFile).getChannel();
dst.transferFrom(src, 0, src.size());
src.close();
dst.close();
}
What I doing wrong?

You need to call a broadcast to tell Android OS that you have added an Image or Video
So after download image/video just call below method will show your image/video in to gallery.
public void scanMedia(File f, String type) {
if (SDK_INT >= 19) {
if (type.equals("video/*")) {
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, f.getAbsolutePath());
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, type);
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_ADDED, System.currentTimeMillis());
try{
MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
retriever.setDataSource(context, Uri.parse(f.getAbsolutePath()));
String time = retriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_DURATION);
long timeInMillisec = Long.parseLong(time);
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DURATION, timeInMillisec);
retriever.release();
}catch (Exception e){
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DURATION, 0);
}
context.getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
}else if(type.equals("image/*")){
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, f.getAbsolutePath());
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, type);
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, System.currentTimeMillis());
context.getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
}
} else {
context.sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(f)));
}
}
Happy Coding.

Android Q Create and save file

I try save a pdf file but on andorid Q I do not see a file. I added all permissions and all permissions are granded also I do this :
public static void saveFile( #NonNull String name, Context context,String base64, Uri imageUri,String path) throws IOException {
Log.e("Path",path);
OutputStream fos;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver();
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, name + ".pdf");
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "application/pdf");
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH, Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);
fos = resolver.openOutputStream(Objects.requireNonNull(imageUri));
} else {
String imagesDir = path;
File image = new File(imagesDir, name + ".pdf");
fos = new FileOutputStream(image);
}
byte[] pdfAsBytes = Base64.decode(base64, 0);
assert fos != null;
fos.write(pdfAsBytes);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
}
FileOutputStream os;
String path;
Uri photoURI = null;
photoURI = getUriForFile(context.getApplicationContext(),
BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", createImageFile(context,cardId));
File dwldsPath = new File(getDefaultTempFilesPath(context) + "/" + cardId +".pdf");
And a probleme is that I do not see a file , a this permissions is added and all is granded :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
and I add
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
if I do this steal I do not have a file butI do not have any exceptions
private static void createFile(Context ctx, String fileName, String text) {
File filesDir = null;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
filesDir = ctx.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS);
}
assert filesDir != null;
if (!filesDir.exists()){
if(filesDir.mkdirs()){
}
}
File file = new File(filesDir, fileName + ".txt");
try {
if (!file.exists()) {
if (!file.createNewFile()) {
throw new IOException("Cant able to create file");
}
}
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte[] data = text.getBytes();
os.write(data);
os.flush();
os.close();
Log.e("TAG", "File Path= " + file.toString());
if(file.exists()){
Log.e("d","d");
}
File fileTemp = new File(file.getPath());
FileInputStream notes_xml = new FileInputStream(fileTemp);
byte fileContent[] = new byte[(int)notes_xml.available()];
//The information will be content on the buffer.
notes_xml.read(fileContent);
String strContent = new String(fileContent);
Log.e("content",strContent);
notes_xml.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Trying to save images to directory, Saving into an unknown place

I am trying to create a facial/emotion detection application for my dissertation and have hit the wall that has stopped me from progressing and I cant figure out the reason why it is preventing the image saving to the directory of the phone. It seems to be saving to the SD card, but I dont use an SDcard in my phone / an emulated DCIM.
file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM)+ "/" + UUID.randomUUID(), toString()+ ".jpg");
ImageReader.OnImageAvailableListener readerListener = new ImageReader.OnImageAvailableListener() {
#Override
public void onImageAvailable(ImageReader imageReader) {
Image image = null;
try {
image = reader.acquireLatestImage();
ByteBuffer buffer = image.getPlanes() [0].getBuffer();
byte[] bytes = new byte[buffer.capacity()];
buffer.get(bytes);
save(bytes);
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
{
if (image != null)
image.close();
}
}
}
This is the code I have to create the file and save to the location, I have tried other solutions but they throw out errors.
File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/CustomFolder");
File file;
if (!folder.exists()) {
boolean success = folder.mkdir();
if (success){
file = new File(folder.getPath() + "/" + UUID.randomUUID(), toString()+ ".jpg");
}else {
Toast.makeText(FacialDetection.this, "Failed to save file to folder", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}else{
file = new File(folder.getPath() + "/" + UUID.randomUUID(), toString()+ ".jpg");
}
ImageReader.OnImageAvailableListener readerListener = new ImageReader.OnImageAvailableListener() {
#Override
public void onImageAvailable(ImageReader imageReader) {
Image image = null;
try {
image = reader.acquireLatestImage();
ByteBuffer buffer = image.getPlanes() [0].getBuffer();
byte[] bytes = new byte[buffer.capacity()];
buffer.get(bytes);
save(bytes);
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
{
if (image != null)
image.close();
}
}
}
private void save(byte[] bytes) throws IOException {
OutputStream outputStream = null;
try {
outputStream = new FileOutputStream(***file***);
outputStream.write(bytes);
}finally {
if (outputStream != null)
outputStream.close();
}
}
};
reader.setOnImageAvailableListener(readerListener, mBackgroundHandler);
final CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback captureListener = new CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback() {
#Override
public void onCaptureCompleted(#NonNull CameraCaptureSession session, #NonNull CaptureRequest request, #NonNull TotalCaptureResult result) {
super.onCaptureCompleted(session, request, result);
Toast.makeText(FacialDetection.this, "Saved " + ***file***, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
createCameraPreview();
}
};
The updated code, stuff bold and italic is what is throwing errors

I will advise you to create your own custom folder location this way:
File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/CustomFolder");
File file;
if (!folder.exists()) {
boolean success = folder.mkdir();
if (success){
file = new File(folder.getPath() + "/" + UUID.randomUUID(), toString()+ ".jpg");
}else {
//Some message
}
}else {
file = new File(folder.getPath() + "/" + UUID.randomUUID(), toString()+ ".jpg");
}
//The rest of your code...

You're calling:
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM)
I would speculate that .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() means get directory on SD card. Is there a getInternal... method?

//Create folder !exist
String folderPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +"/myFoldername";
File folder = new File(folderPath);
if (!folder.exists()) {
File wallpaperDirectory = new File(folderPath);
wallpaperDirectory.mkdirs();
}
//create a new file
newFile = new File(folderPath, newPhoto.getName());
if (newFile != null) {
// save image here
Uri relativePath = Uri.fromFile(newFile);
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, relativePath);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}

How clear gallery thumbnails after deleting image from DCIM in Android

I am deleting image after capture and doing some work on it.But after deleting the image Gallery till hold the thumbnails. How clear gallery thumbnails after deleting image from DCIM in Android.
private boolean deleteLastFromDCIM() {
boolean success = false;
try {
File[] images = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "DCIM"+File.separator+"Camera").listFiles();
File latestSavedImage = images[0];
for (int i = 1; i < images.length; ++i) {
if (images[i].lastModified() > latestSavedImage.lastModified()) {
latestSavedImage = images[i];
}
}
// OR JUST Use success = latestSavedImage.delete();
success = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator + "DCIM/Camera/"
+ latestSavedImage.getAbsoluteFile()).delete();
return success;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return success;
}}
if(file.exists()){
Calendar time = Calendar.getInstance();
time.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR,-7);
//I store the required attributes here and delete them
Date lastModified = new Date(file.lastModified());
if(lastModified.before(time.getTime()))
{
//file is older than a week
}
file.delete();
}else{
file.createNewFile();
}

Just you need to write a method for delete file and replace the code file.delete(); with deleteFileFromMediaStore(this.getContentResolver(),file);
public void deleteFileFromMediaStore(final ContentResolver contentResolver, final File file) {
String canonicalPath;
try {
canonicalPath = file.getCanonicalPath();
} catch (IOException e) {
canonicalPath = file.getAbsolutePath();
}
final Uri uri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external");
final int result = contentResolver.delete(uri,
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[] {canonicalPath});
if (result == 0) {
final String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
if (!absolutePath.equals(canonicalPath)) {
contentResolver.delete(uri,
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[]{absolutePath});
}
}
}
