photo saved on sdcard do not appear #1805

So i use OpenCamera and have set it up to save photos on sdcard. Now when i take a photo the photo wont appear in Simple Gallery until a reboot.

Few remarks:

openCamera does call MediaScannerConnection.scanFile
there is actually a very strange behavior which owuld make me think the error is in SimpleGallery. I take a photo, open Simple Gallery, i don see the latest photo as thumbnail. However if i go in the folder i can shortly see all the added new photos from the sdcard. But then the view refreshes again and they disappear. If then toggle the show hidden files then the same behavior happens.

Looking at the code it seems that getCachedMedia picks up the new added files on the sdcard while GetMediaAsynctask does not

well updating SD card files can take a while, it is sadly caused by the system. Does it work better in other apps? What Gallery version are you using at all?

farfromrefug commented 4 years ago

I am using 6.14.0. I guess yes it take a while but why do I brefily see them. Even right after the photo has been taken. But I am starting to think it has something to do too with open camera.

This occurs for me on one out of four devices.

On a Poblano VLE 5 Hot Pepper, running 8.1.0 I must reboot after moving files to the SD card.

Strangely, it does NOT happen on my ZTE Maven 812 running 5.1.1 or my two ZTE 557VL devices running 7.1.1

Should add that for me was happening on 9. Now rolled back on 8.0 and does not happen anymore

Is there an option to manually trigger a rescan?

I have also the issue that folders don't show till I

restart the device (does not work for hidden folders)
or manually include a parent folder to "Manage Included folders"

using v6.21.1 (Android 10)

I want to mention that I experience the same/similar issue on my stock ROM SAMSUNG A52s 5G. In my case it's not related to OpenCamera, but to sync with my real camera using an OTG cable. The pictures are synced to sd card using FolderSync app. After syncing, the new pictures will not show up in simple gallery. They do show up when opening them in an explorer app (total commander in my case). And they stay in the gallery, while others not opened still are missing. Also installing a new version of simple gallery make them show up. Hope this helps in finding the issue. And thanks for fixing in advance 😉
