You have to save the image to media provider. Here is a simple example:

Uri saveMediaEntry(String imagePath,String title,String description,long dateTaken,int orientation,Location loc) {
ContentValues v = new ContentValues();
v.put(Images.Media.TITLE, title);
v.put(Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, displayName);
v.put(Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, description);
v.put(Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, dateTaken);
v.put(Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, dateTaken);
v.put(Images.Media.DATE_MODIFIED, dateTaken) ;
v.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, “image/jpeg”);
v.put(Images.Media.ORIENTATION, orientation);
File f = new File(imagePath) ;
File parent = f.getParentFile() ;
String path = parent.toString().toLowerCase() ;
String name = parent.getName().toLowerCase() ;
v.put(Images.ImageColumns.BUCKET_ID, path.hashCode());
v.put(Images.ImageColumns.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME, name);
v.put(Images.Media.SIZE,f.length()) ;
f = null ;
if( targ_loc != null ) {
v.put(Images.Media.LATITUDE, loc.getLatitude());
v.put(Images.Media.LONGITUDE, loc.getLongitude());
}
v.put(“_data”,imagePath) ;
ContentResolver c = getContentResolver() ;
return c.insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, v);
}
