So the main concern in that answer was not all the devices are using "DCIM" as the camera folder. Then I found out that if a file is located inside a app-specified folder, it will be indexed by ContentResolver but the other app doesn't have access to it, which means canRead=false. So here I come up with another solution:

    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        String imagePath = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA));
        File imageFile = new File(imagePath);
        if (imageFile.canRead() && imageFile.exists()) {
           // we have found the latest picture in the public folder, do whatever you want
            break;
        }
    }
