Description
Hi,
I noticed that when new images (or any file) are created under a location aka PicturesDirectoryPath they don't become visible immediately under the gallery app. The reason for that seems it requires an extra step to tell the android's mediascanner about the new files. By not doing that means the new files are going to get "visible" for users only when mediascanner starts which happens during the boot.
Following bellow a stackoverflow about this issue:
