How can I delete images after fullscreen

Question

I have made an app with gridviews and a lot of pictures.

I have a fullscreenactivity and everytime I'm opening a picture in fullscreen it's saved in the camera folder but how can I delete it after fullscreen?

   @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.full_image);

        // get intent data
        Intent i = getIntent();

        // Selected image id
        int position = i.getExtras().getInt("id");
        ImageAdapter imageAdapter = new ImageAdapter(this);

        ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.full_image_view);
        imageView.setImageResource(imageAdapter.mThumbIds[position]);
        BitmapDrawable bm = (BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable();
        Bitmap mysharebmp = bm.getBitmap();
        String path = Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),
                            mysharebmp, "MyImage", null);
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
        Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sharingIntent.setType("image/*");
        sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,
                            "Share image using"));

    }
}

I hope that are all informations you need.

in your full screen activity when ever come in increate() method then u will found one file path just delete that path from there from this code

    File file = new File(selectedFilePath);
boolean deleted = file.delete();

After delete just refresh media gallery class like this using from this line i.e u can see the changes after delete of that picture.

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath))));

also take permission

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Thank you for your help but i think i´m doing it wrong it crashes with 04-03 09:59:02.842: W/ContentResolver(7682): Failed to get type for: content://media/external/images/media/22272/storage/sdcard0 (Unknown URL : content://media/external/images/media/22272/storage/sdcard0) – Apr 03 '14 at 08:00
i put it sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.parse(path + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()))); sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(new File(path)))); after the startActivity...? – Apr 03 '14 at 08:01
just try to run only delete method not refresh and let me know what u found – Bhanu Sharma Apr 03 '14 at 08:03
It´s still the same only with sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.parse(path + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()))); – Apr 03 '14 at 08:14
One wierd error is 04-03 10:12:55.747: E/AndroidRuntime(8494): Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: not allowed to send broadcast android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED from pid=8494, uid=10229 because i set permission in manifest – Apr 03 '14 at 08:15
now see my edited ans and try to delete with this code dude and also refresh it – Bhanu Sharma Apr 03 '14 at 08:35
made it working with that code: getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null); sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(new File(path)))); But now i can´t share the pictures because it´s going deleted before the share how can i make it that it´s deleted after the share? – Apr 03 '14 at 08:35
made that but it´s not working. it´s deleting the pic before the share action? if i put it after share and } it´s not working too if you add getContent... to your answer i will accept it as right :) maybe you can help me with the new problem? or should i open a new question? thx dude for ur help! – Apr 03 '14 at 08:42

And is there no way to start getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null); sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(new File(path)))); after exit fullscreen? because that code is working... Thank you really for ur time dude!!!!!! – Apr 03 '14 at 09:34
