Deleting an image after shared transition

Question

I am creating an app with a shared transition animation. For this I create an intent with an image. But the image gets stored on the device. But how can I delete this aftere the transition?

Here I share the transition:

Bitmap photo = ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), photo, "pic", null);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

And here I recieve the uri:

pic = extras.getParcelable(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);

And here I try to delete the image, but it doesn't find it:

File fdlt = new File(pic.getPath());
        if (fdlt.exists()) {
            if (fdlt.delete()) {
                Log.e("DELETED", "DELETED");
            } else {
                Log.e("NOT DELETED", "NOT DELETED");
            }
        } else {
            Log.e("FILE NOT FOUND", "FILE NOT FOUND");
        }

Example path of an image: /external/images/media/2750

can you show us the value of `path`? – Sohail Zahid Aug 07 '16 at 11:20 — Sohail Zahid, Aug 07 '16 at 11:20

File fdlt = new File(pic.getPath());
        if (fdlt.exists()) {
            if (fdlt.delete()) {
                Log.e("DELETED", "DELETED");
            } else {
                Log.e("NOT DELETED", "NOT DELETED");
            }
        } else {
            Log.e("FILE NOT FOUND", "FILE NOT FOUND");
        }

Replace your this code with below one.

        int size = 0;
        size = this.getContentResolver().delete(pic,
                null, null);
        if (size == 0) {
            Log.e("NOT DELETED", "NOT DELETED");
        } else {
            Log.e("DELETED", "DELETED");
        }

comment here if still have issue? – Sohail Zahid Aug 08 '16 at 05:37 — Sohail Zahid, Aug 08 '16 at 05:37

You can store the image in your app's cache dir, and let Android take care of deleting it: Creating temporary files in Android
