Hello, thanks for this, I have been also browsing the Camera app code which hosts the Gallery and considering to "hack" something in order to achieve an additional goal.
In my view of thumbnails management, the thumbnail generation itself should be handled by the system. I don't think Android should let every application generate thumbnails in different formats, sizes, quality, locations. What I am trying to achieve is to provide Camera code with the original bitmap and let it generate the thumbnail and store it. BUT, I think the real goal for android should better be to extract thumbnails management from Camera app and put this task in the MediaScanner or the Media ContentProvider. We have a nice Media ContentProvider which allow us to retrieve Images and their Thumbnails... but can't ensure that the thumbnail is available so let people have to deal with their generation if it is missing ? I think this is nonsense. Don't you ?
