Hi, I just use an activity / service / class that implements MediaScannerConnection.MediaScannerConnectionClient
which provides the callback methods - public void onMediaScannerConnected() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub bMSCConnected = true; } public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.i("ImageService", "onScanCompleted() msc.scanFile() path = " + path + " uri = " + uri.toString()); mscPath = path; mscURI = uri; bMSCCompleted = true; } And defines class variables - MediaScannerConnection msc; boolean bMSCConnected = false; etc And initialises the following in onCreate ( or whatever ) - msc = new MediaScannerConnection(_context, this); if (msc != null) { msc.connect(); } and AFTER !!! saving the camera image to the sdcard, I call - private void updateMediaScanner(ImageMetaData cgmd) { if (bMSCConnected == true) { Log.i("ImageService", "start msc.scanFile() " + cgmd.image_path + cgmd.image_file_name); bMSCCompleted = false; msc.scanFile((cgmd.image_path + cgmd.image_file_name), "image/ jpeg"); while (bMSCCompleted == false) { try { Thread.sleep(200); } catch (Exception e) { } } Log.i("ImageService", "end msc.scanFile() mscPath = " + mscPath + " mscURI = " + mscURI.toString()); } } I also call this method from a seperate non UI thread. In your code I think you need to wait for nMediaScannerConnected() to be called, before calling scanner.scanFile(picture_path, "image/ jpeg"); And you DO need to save the image to file as I already mentioned ( not just provide a file name and wait for not to exist - in a while loop ??? ) Otherwise I suggest you look at the camera source code. http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Camera.git;a=commit;h=b104585af4b09f3c7e3dd16eaebb6c96d5064c99 Hope that helps.
