Hi everybody, Here is the problem: I'm trying to figure out the best way to copy exisitng jpeg image on SD card from one folder to another with MediaStore database properly updated.
First approach I tried: 1) Open IN and OUT streams; 2) Copy file to a new location as byte stream; 3) Use MediaScannerConnection.scanFile() to update MediaStore DB. This way works fine except one problem: image thumbnail is not generated (MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails is empty). I looked inside "scanFile" method; it doesn't seem to have any code for thumbnail generation. Second approach: Try to use Images.Media.insertImage() - with this approach I don't know how to chose the physical location of the new file. You can't control this. You just get an Uri to a copy of the image which is copied (re-encoded) to some place but not the folder you need it to be in. In other words, my question is: Is there any way to give MediaStore an image file and say "Please, take this file and fill up your database with all the information it should have, including thumbnail"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
