Refreshing android gallery to show immediately saved photo

I made a simple app for android devices that uses mobile's camera to take a photo and save it in internal storage folder /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camerizeman/

Photos are saved correctly but the problem that i am faceing is that i can't see the photos from mobile's gallery. I can see them correctly if i use a file manager or reboot me device. i am searchig 10 days now and the problem is that i have to refresh the gallery after saving the image.

I didn't found any working solution.

my code is bellow:

Camera mainCamera;
RenderTexture renderTex;
Texture2D screenshot;
Texture2D LoadScreenshot;
int width =Screen.width; // for Taking Picture
int height =Screen.height; // for Taking Picture
string fileName;
string myScreenshotLocation;
string screenShotName ="MyImage_AR_"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HHmmss")+".png";

publicvoidSnapshot(){
StartCoroutine(CaptureScreen());
}

publicIEnumeratorCaptureScreen(){
yield returnnull;
UI//GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Snapshoot").SetActive(false);
yield returnnewWaitForEndOfFrame();

if(Screen.orientation ==ScreenOrientation.Portrait||Screen.orientation ==ScreenOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown){
mainCamera =Camera.main.GetComponent<Camera>();// for Taking Picture
renderTex =newRenderTexture(width, height,24);
mainCamera.targetTexture = renderTex;RenderTexture.active = renderTex;
mainCamera.Render();
screenshot =newTexture2D(width, height,TextureFormat.RGB24,false);
screenshot.ReadPixels(newRect(0,0, width, height),0,0);
screenshot.Apply();//falseRenderTexture.active =null;
mainCamera.targetTexture =null;
}

if(Screen.orientation ==ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft||Screen.orientation ==ScreenOrientation.LandscapeRight){
mainCamera =Camera.main.GetComponent<Camera>();// for Taking Picture
renderTex =newRenderTexture(height, width,24);
mainCamera.targetTexture = renderTex;RenderTexture.active = renderTex;
mainCamera.Render();
screenshot =newTexture2D(height, width,TextureFormat.RGB24,false);
screenshot.ReadPixels(newRect(0,0, height, width),0,0);
screenshot.Apply();//falseRenderTexture.active =null;
mainCamera.targetTexture =null;
}

myScreenshotLocation = myFolderLocation + screenShotName;File.WriteAllBytes(myFolderLocation + screenShotName, screenshot.EncodeToPNG());}

 

Im having the same problem after doing a file copy to the Camera folder . Did you manage to resolve this? Its something to do with file refresh but I havent found a good solution yet. Thanks A

 

In Android , you have to write native code to refresh gallery, otherwise not possible.

 

Hi Davesh do you or anyone know of a script that exists? TY

 

See this link, there is code for Android, you have to call it from unity c#.
