Question

I am capturing image by using camera in my app.

1) it saves image at sdcard, with the name which i passed in intent.

2) also saving the image at sdcard/dcim folder

I do not want camera to save image at location mentioned in # 2.
i am deleting image from the location in #1. and want to delete image from location in #2 too.

Below is the code snippet for capturing image.

    SD_CARD_TEMP_DIR = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "tempImage.jpg";
    file =new File(SD_CARD_TEMP_DIR);
    Intent takePictureFromCameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    takePictureFromCameraIntent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(file));
    startActivityForResult(takePictureFromCameraIntent, TAKE_PICTURE_WITH_CAMERA);

Answer 1

this Thread helped me to solve this problem.
Now what I am doing, 1) capture image, 2) read last image in Media uri, and delete that.

private void FillPhotoList() {  
// initialize the list!    
GalleryList.clear();    
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DISPLAY_NAME }; 
for(int i=0;i<projection.length;i++)
    Log.i("InfoLog","projection "+projection[0].toString());
// intialize the Uri and the Cursor, and the current expected size.    
Cursor c = null;     
Uri u = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; 
Log.i("InfoLog","FillPhoto Uri u "+u.toString());
// Query the Uri to get the data path.  Only if the Uri is valid.    
if (u != null)    
{       
    c = managedQuery(u, projection, null, null, null);    
}     
// If we found the cursor and found a record in it (we also have the id).    
if ((c != null) && (c.moveToFirst()))     
{       
    do        
    {         
        // Loop each and add to the list.         
        GalleryList.add(c.getString(0)); // adding all the images sotred in the mobile phone(Internal and SD card)

    }            
    while (c.moveToNext());    
} 
Log.i(INFOLOG,"gallery size "+ GalleryList.size());
      }
