When deleting the images on Android’s SD Card, sometimes the images are correctly removed but in the gallery still remains a preview of the removed image. When tapping on it, it is loaded as a black image. To resolve it I need to run MediaScanner. But this code doesn't work and still, the preview of review image remains in the Gallery.
Anyone knows how to resolve this.
Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE,contentUri);
sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
You should delete it from mediaStore
public static void deleteFileFromMediaStore(final ContentResolver contentResolver, final File file) {
String canonicalPath;
try {
canonicalPath = file.getCanonicalPath();
} catch (IOException e) {
canonicalPath = file.getAbsolutePath();
}
final Uri uri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external");
final int result = contentResolver.delete(uri,
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[] {canonicalPath});
if (result == 0) {
final String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
if (!absolutePath.equals(canonicalPath)) {
contentResolver.delete(uri,
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[]{absolutePath});
}
}
}
