The following code downloads a image from Amazon S3 into the device, and then I try to load the image in gallery.
My issue is different for the Device (Nexus 7) and the emulator.
My code below is a cumulation of reading through stackoverflow answers.

1) In the emulator DDMS, I find the file test.jpg in the device under /data/data/myprojectname/file/test.jpg The size of the file is correct.
However, it says “Unfortunately camera has stopped working” when I try to load the image using the intent method below.

2) For the Nexus 7, gallery simply shows up with no image. I can’t really find the image “test.jpg” using Astro file manager, why is this so?

Also, why would the emulator and the device act differently?

This is driving me crazy, thanks in advance for your help.
