Android Question How to add screenshot to screenshot map

[andredamen]

I know how to make a screenshot within the app and sent it to the mediamap:

MediaStoreImagesMedia.InitializeStatic("android.provider.MediaStore.Images$Media")

But how put it into the screenshot map?

 

[Sandman]

A bit of language confusion here. "Map" in dutch means "folder" in english. Just so we don't confuse the question with an actual B4X map.

 

[andredamen]

Yes. I mean folder.But, do you know the answer?

 

[Sandman]

Sorry, no. If I had known it, I would have written it. I imagine you could find the answer by using the search engine, seems like something that has been discussed several times before.

I spend this afternoon a lot of time in the search engine. Didn't find the solution. Does anyone know?

Not sure if I understand what you mean.

Maybe you could use this example and change Pictures with Screenshots?

Add image to Gallery Android 5 - 10+

Depends on: Phone, JavaObject and ContentResolver libraries Sub AddBitmapToGallery (In As InputStream, TargetName As String, MimeType As String) Dim p As Phone Dim ctxt As JavaObject ctxt.InitializeContext If p.SdkVersion >= 29 Then Dim cr As ContentResolver...

What, the attached project is not working for you @andredamen???

What device are you testing it on???

Hi Peter:

I've made the same test. It works, but andredamen wants the picture appears under the "Screenshots" album, and not into the "Pictures" one (In my image, Capturas means Screenshots)

Erel can't find the settings to create folders into "Pictures"...

Add image to Album in Gallery

I read this thread, and it solved my SDK 29 issue with images not going to the gallery https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/add-image-to-gallery-android-5-10.121992/#content Thank you! These images go to the generic "Pictures" album. Previously, when I was using intents with...

Well, I've been lucky. Looking I found this, and probably not related, but I tested this way and it works.

Changin this line it works (add the "%/Screenshots/%" & part).

cr.Delete(EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, "_display_name = ?", Array As String("%/Screenshots/%" & TargetName))

I have no device with target <29 to test the else part of the Erel's snippet, but you should test with "Pictures/Screenshots" there.

 

[andredamen]

Doesn't work with me. I work with sdk version 30. On my tablet in the folder " Images" there is no folder names "Pictures" I have changes the line in the AddPhototoGallery app to:

        cr.Delete(EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, "_display_name = ?", Array As String("%/Screenshots/%"& TargetName))

The app makes a folder "Pictures" in the folder "Images"en puts the image in that folder.

The EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI = "(HierarchicalUri) content://media/external/images/media . I think that I can't change that and that this is the problem.

Still I can not put a screenshot made with my app in the folder "screenshots". It is strange José that it works with you. Did I do something wrong?

 

[josejad]

Did I do something wrong?

No, I think you didn't, I think is just our phone manufactures, uses differents folders names for saving the pictures.
Save a screenshot to see where your phone saves it. Maybe the name is different.
Sorry, I don't know a general way of making it works for any phone
