Image not show in gallery

Question

I launch default camera using intent and store those camera images in external storage using below path:

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                   + File.separator + fileName);

But it does not show in gallery. The issue comes in nexus 4,7 and moto G devices with OS 4.4.2

I try with

mContext.sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri
                .parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));

But It not work

You need to call the MediaScanner, check this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/5815005/2065418 — Damien R., Apr 01 '14 at 08:29

You will have to refresh the media scanner cache, try this:

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(yourFile)));

You have to tell the device to scan the new media file. Try with this snippet:

MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(
        this, new String[]{file.getAbsolutePath()}, null, null);

I think you'd better make a folder in the camera default folder and put your data in it. Check if a file with the name of ".nomedia" is not in that folder.
