Question

I have a Problem. I start from my own Application the Build-In Photoapplication with a Photo-Intent.

        String photoName = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg"; 

        File file = new File(getFilesDir(),//Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
                //Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM),
                photoName); // Anlegen der Datei im entsprechenden
                            // Verzeichnis
        FileOutputStream fos = null;
        try {
            fos = openFileOutput(photoName, Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            fos.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
        intentPhoto.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(file));
        //startActivity(intentPhoto);
        startActivityForResult(intentPhoto, TAKE_PICTURE);

This is my Code to start the Activity. As you can see, the first thing i do is to set up the file in the directory and then give the intent the location of the file to store it.

But everytime i take a picture it is not saved to the Pictures Directory. The only way to save the picture is to turn off the phone and restart it. Then every picture I have taken befor is there. This happens since the last updated to 4.1.1. Befor i updated the phone, everything worked fine, but since the update I have this problem.

Can somebody help me? Does anyone have the same Issue?

Answer 1

It works fine now, the problem was that I create the File by my self, with:

File file = new File(..); 

But you have to use:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "IMG_"+ timeStamp+.jpg"); 

And put it into the intent to save the file at once without restarting the phone.
