Android Question camex save picture problem

[hung]

I have an app using similar code as below to take photo then save to device.

No error prompted, but I could not find the photo taken.

Sub Camera1_PictureTaken (Data() As Byte)
    Dim filename As String = "1.jpg"
    Dim dir As String = File.DirInternal
   
    camEx.SavePictureToFile(Data, dir, filename)
    camEx.StartPreview 'restart preview
    ToastMessageShow("Picture saved." & CRLF  & "File size: " & File.Size(dir, filename), True)
End Sub

Android targetSdkVersion is 30 and I am using Xiaomi 9T Pro (Android 11 RKQ1.200826.002)

The File.DirInternal is "/data/user/0/abc/files/"
where abc is my package name.

File.DirInternal is (and always has been) storage that is private to the app, inaccessible to the User and to other apps (unless on a "rooted" device).

You need to use one of the options listed here to save the data somewhere else.

Thank you Brian. I follow your guide to update program as below

Private Sub cam_PictureTaken (Data() As Byte)
    Dim dir As String
    dir = gRp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")
    camex.SavePictureToFile(Data, dir, "photo1.jpg")
    camex.StartPreview
    ToastMessageShow(dir & "/photo1.jpg", False)   
End Sub

I could find the photo1.jpg in android/data/... But the default photo album cannot see the photo taken by my program.

How could I put the photo taken into a place for default photo album to see?

You should always create a new thread for a new question. Even better: First use the forumsearch. Most questions are answered already.

That link explain well. I was thinking the photo will be automatically visible. But the AddToGallery() works straight away.

Thanks. problem solved.
