Answer 1

This will work in all android versions used in on activity result of camera capture

MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[]{file.getPath()}, new String[]{"image/jpeg"}, null);

Answer 2

You need to set a value to this uriToFileInExternalStorage

Sample code:

fileName = "image_" + String.valueOf(numImages) + ".jpg";

File output = new File(direct + File.separator + fileName); // create
                                                                    // output
while (output.exists()) { // while the file exists
    numImages++; // increment number of images
    fileName = "image_" + String.valueOf(numImages) + ".jpg";
    output = new File(outputFolder, fileName);
}

uriToFileInExternalStorage = Uri.fromFile(output); 

Answer 3

Try code given here: Add the Photo to a Gallery

Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
File f = new File(mCurrentPhotoPath);
Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);
this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);

I would suggest you to download example PhotoIntentActivity to read and understand how to fetch mCurrentPhotoPath value.
