No. You have to do this all yourself :( 1. Query from the mediastore all the info for your original image, including its file-path (DATA column). 2. Query from the thumbnail mediastore the info of all the thumbnails (can have more than one) for the given image.
3. Copy your image-file to another location. Remember this location for the new DATA column of your new image. 4. Insert into the mediastore all the data obtained from point (1.) but set your DATA to the new file-path of your new image (from point 3.). 5. Insert into the thumbnail mediastore the thumbnails of this new image. Use the data from point (2.), but update the IMAGE_ID with the new image-id from point (4.) and make also copies of each thumbnail file (DATA column).
