Android Question how to get file created timestamp?

[cbal03]

I have an app where i can take pictures. at the end of the day these pictures are sent to a server through an automated process. once on the server the timestamp changes. I need the original timestamp when the picture was taken. Is it possible to get this information from the file attributes? Do I need to open the file and get the info from the header? Thanks.

Is this your app that saves the files?
If the files are saved as jpegs then you can extract the time from the exif attributes (if it is set): https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-support-exifinterface.74629/#content

Thanks Erel! That looks promising. I'll give it a try.
