I need your help. I'm starting to create an app, and I would save photos, videos, vocal memo etc. like a post/note and everything are part of this post.
These multimedia files, will be saved in a folder, which name is a timestamp. On this way, every post/note is charaterized by the timestamp. The timestamp should update every time when I want to create a new post.
I want to save my files by following this path:
- Name_app
- Timestamp
- Pictures
- Pictures1
- Pictures2
- ...
- Videos
- Video1
- ...
- Pictures
- Timestamp
Below my code.
This is the code which create my Image File (and it look like to work):
private File createImageFile () throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString());
File myDir = new File(root + "/Urban_stories_sharing/" + timeStamp + "/Pictures");
if (!myDir.exists()) {
myDir.mkdirs();
}
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, /* prefix */
".jpg", /* suffix */
myDir /* directory */
);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
mCurrentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
This is the code which start the activity:
public void goToCamera(View v) {
getCameraPermission();
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
File photoFile = null;
try {
isStoragePermissionGranted();
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// Error occurred while creating the File
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"com.example.andreacarubelli.urbanstoriessharing.fileprovider",
photoFile);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
}
}
}
I think that the problem is on "Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "com.example.andreacarubelli.urbanstoriessharing.fileprovider", photoFile);"
This is the code of my path (and I don't know how to change it dynamically like this -> "Urban_stories_sharing/" + timeStamp + "/Pictures"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="my_images"
path="Urban_stories_sharing/Pictures" />
</paths>
This is my provider in my Android Manifest:
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.andreacarubelli.urbanstoriessharing.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths">
</meta-data>
</provider>
Thank you so much.
