DocumentFile.renameTo uses old filename when sharing file through gallery










0















I have an app that renames images and use the Document Fileprovider to be able to rename files also on the external storage.
The renaming works fine, when I check the filename via a filemanager and also when I view the the "Info" in the Google Photos app the new filename shows.
But when I share the file via Google Photos and choose "Mail" for example, the attachment picks up the old filename.



I tried updating the media store with:



Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("volume", "external");
context.startService(new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.providers.media", "com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerService")).putExtras(bundle));


and



Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
intent.setData(Uri.fromFile(newFile));
context.sendBroadcast(intent);


or



private static void updateMediaStore(Context context, File oldFile, File newFile, long taken)

deleteImageFromMediaStore(context, oldFile.getAbsolutePath());
addImageToMediaStore(context.getContentResolver(), newFile, taken);



private static void deleteImageFromMediaStore(Context context, String path)

Uri rootUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath( path );

context.getContentResolver().delete( rootUri,
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=?", new String path );


private static void addImageToMediaStore(ContentResolver cr, File filepath, long taken)
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, filepath.getName());
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, filepath.getName());
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, Helper.isImageFile(filepath.getAbsolutePath()) ? "image/jpeg": "video/mp4");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, System.currentTimeMillis());
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, taken);
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, filepath.toString());

cr.insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);



...also tried some 3rd party media scanners from the playstore.
Rebooted too, since that triggers a media scan as well.



But the problem still exists.



Added some images that shows the issue I describe



Correct Filename in Files app



Correct Filename in Info dialog of Google Photos app



Incorrect old Filaname after sharing photo via Google Photo as mail attachment

  • ...one more thing I have found: When I share the file via the "Files" app it works. Just Goole Photos and other Gallery Apps I found I have issues with.

  • Sounds like you should Send Feedback to the apps that are caching an old name.

  • I just noticed, that when I attach a file from the mail app and use the Files app, the old file appears in the "Recent" list. When I navigate to the file directly with /sdcard/DCIM/Camera, the correct new filename appears.
