    <p><strong>Link to solution/workaround at bottom of question</strong></p> <p>I used the <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Android tutorial</a> to write code to open the nexus 7 camera via intents and take a photo. It refused to work properly unless I altered the file object initialisation code from </p> <p><code>File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory( Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "MyCameraApp");</code></p> <p>to</p> <p><code>File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory( Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) + File.separator +"MyCameraApp");</code></p> <p>and even then <code>intent.getData()</code> is still null when <code>onActivityResult</code> is called. Back to the question at hand though: I can see the saved image browsing on the tablet itself, but not when I browse it on the PC via USB. </p> <p>What am I doing wrong? I thought using <code>getExternalStoragePublicDirectory</code> made files completely accessible. Could there be something else wrong with my code? Do I need to somehow "tell" the stock camera app to save it as <code>MODE_WORLD_READABLE</code> or something along those lines?</p> <p>Spent hours and hours trying to get this working properly - any help would be appreciated!</p> <p>I can post the rest of my code if it would help - its almost identical to the <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Android tutorial</a> though.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> This is caused by a known problem with the nexus 7 and 4.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
