So far, after recording on downloading new media file in order to make system see this file developer had to fire broadcast:
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.parse("file://" + context.getExternalFilesDir(null))));
But now, instead of scan proccess, one can get
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: not allowed to send broadcast android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED
The simplest solution to get rig of this exception is to use MediaScanner:
public static void scanFile(Context context, String path) { MediaScannerConnection.scanFile( context.getApplicationContext(), new String[]{ path }, null, new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() { @Override public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) { Log.e(TAG, "file " + path + " was scanned successfully: " + uri); } }); }
