I'm writing an app that will include saving images that are in bitmaps. Everything is working great on the simulator, but on the phone I'm stuck rebooting before they show up in the albums.

The app is using 1.5 and the device is an HTC Hero from Sprint.

I'm using the following code for saving the images:

Code: Select all

String response = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), pngImage, "My Title", "My Description");


After saving on the simulator I'm able to go into the album and see the saved images. On the device they aren't there until I reboot the phone. Is there a way to get them to show up on the phone without having to reboot first? This will definitely annoy and confuse users.

In case anyone else ends up with this same problem I ended up finding a solution that someone posted on Google Groups:
