Stop saving photos using Android native camera

Question

I am using native Android camera and save file to my application data folder (/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.company.app/files/Pictures/). At the same time anther copy of phot

Answer 1

Unfortunately, some smart phones save images in another folder such as DCIM/100MEDIA. So can't rely to these solution. I prefer use this way:

String[] projection = new String[] {
     MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns._ID,
     MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA,
     MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME,
     MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATE_TAKEN,
     MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.MIME_TYPE};     

final Cursor cursor = managedQuery(
     MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,projection, null, null,
     MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATE_TAKEN + " DESC"); 

if(cursor != null){
     cursor.moveToFirst();
     // you will find the last taken picture here and can delete that
}

I tried to find out if a second copy exists and delete the copy. I used the above code to find the last taken picture.

Notice: Don't use cursor.close(); after using managedQuery, Leave the cursor for the Android system to manage and don't call that. You can see managedQuery()

Notice2: The managedQuery method is deprecated and it should be avoided, implement CursorLoaders instead.
