Body
copied!<p>I am experimenting with the Camera on my non-rooted 4.0.4 Android device having no sd-card. I am doing some burst-shots and saving them on the internal memory.</p> <p>My problem is that my photos get stored in <code>/data/data/my.package.name/files</code> which I cannot access without root-permission. I can see the files, but they have no read-permission.</p> <p>I found some broadcast-Intent that should make them visible in the standard-gallery, but that doesn't seem to work neither.</p> <p><em>Does anyone have another idea of how I can access my photos? Or tweak the stuff I tried so far?</em></p> <p>how I save the photos:</p> <pre><code>public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) { FileOutputStream outStream = null; try { Log.i(TAG, ""+Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)); Log.i(TAG,"fotofolder is "+getFilesDir()); // write to local sandbox file system outStream = CameraDemo.this.openFileOutput(String.format("%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()), 0); outStream.write(data); outStream.close(); //this intent should make fotos visible in the gallery sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.fromFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()))); // Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()))); Log.i(TAG, "onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: " + data.length); ... } </code></pre> <p>the log:</p> <pre><code>08-23 12:42:49.324: I/FrontCamera(15832): /mnt/sdcard/Pictures 08-23 12:42:49.327: I/FrontCamera(15832): fotofolder is /data/data/com.example.camera/files 08-23 12:42:49.370: I/FrontCamera(15832): onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: 430493 </code></pre> <p><--- it puts the photos to the <code>data/data...</code> folder, instead of the useful <code>mnt/sdcard/Pictures</code></p>
