Delete Copy Of An Image In Sdcard

Hello friends I am using the following code in my my project. PERMISSIONS:

Solution 1:

This is the complete solution of your problem of deleting the file from dcim folder.

just copy and paste this method. And call it whenever necessary.
privatevoiddeleteLatest() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stubFile f = newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM/Camera" );

        //Log.i("Log", "file name in delete folder :  "+f.toString());File [] files = f.listFiles();

        //Log.i("Log", "List of files is: " +files.toString());Arrays.sort( files, newComparator<Object>()
                {
            public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {

                if (((File)o1).lastModified() > ((File)o2).lastModified()) {
                    //         Log.i("Log", "Going -1");return -1;
                } elseif (((File)o1).lastModified() < ((File)o2).lastModified()) {
                    //     Log.i("Log", "Going +1");return1;
                } else {
                    //     Log.i("Log", "Going 0");return0;
                }
            }

                });

        //Log.i("Log", "Count of the FILES AFTER DELETING ::"+files[0].length());
        files[0].delete();

    }

Solution 2:

As in the thread @vipsy linked, you can specify the file path URI with 

FilefileDir=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +
    "/saved_images");
fileDir.mkdirs();

Filefile=newFile(fileDir, "image.jpg");

UrioutputFileUri= Uri.fromFile(file);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);

This way the camera will save the image to the specified path instead of the DCIM folder. You don't have to manually copy it, nor do you have to delete anything.

EDIT: You have to create the folder on the sdcard beforehand, maybe that's the poblem. Otherwise, this should work.

Solution 3: 

   File fileOrDirectory= new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +
    "/saved_images");

here fileOrDirectory is a path where you are saving images captured by camera .
you can call this method passing file directory when u need;



 voidDeleteRecursive(File fileOrDirectory) {
        if (fileOrDirectory.isDirectory())
            for (File child : fileOrDirectory.listFiles())
                DeleteRecursive(child);

        fileOrDirectory.delete();
    }
