Hi.

I have a question for Tizen native coding.

My app has a function that it can save image to media folder in SD card.

As we know, the app "Gallery" shows images from the media folder "Images".

When my app saves a image to SD card, the Gallery image list does not include the save file.

If I reboot the device, the Gallery image list includes the save file.

How can I make the Gallery image list contain my save image files whenever my app saves images?

Thanks,

Daegeun.

Hi
Images visible from Gallery are placed in '/opt/usr/media' folder. As I know to make your image visible from Gallery you should use Tizen::Content::ContentManager::CreateContent method. Here is example presented in Tizen help:
https://developer.tizen.org/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.tizen.native.apireference%2FclassTizen_1_1Content_1_1ContentManager.html
This method copies source file to destination file in appropriate folder.
You could try to save an image to SD card using ContentManager::CreateContent method. But I don't sure that it will works.
I was not able to create content (but I did not check external storages) on Tizen file system in another location . Only inside '/opt/usr/media' folder.
Alexey.

You have to use the content manager save file to temp folder first and then move it to media folder using content manager CreateContent. Then delete the the temp file I have reported I bug in the method that delete the original temp file automatically but locks the destination folder bug report https://bugs.tizen.org/jira/browse/TDIST-437
