I've created this plugin because when you save an image on android device, this image does not appears on gallery. This plugin updates the image gallery.
You just need to include the following line in the config.xml
<gap:plugin name="cordova-plugin-refresh-gallery" version="1.0.9" source="npm"/>
After that, you invoke the method to refresh the image gallery.
refreshMedia.refresh(path);
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function (fileSystem) {
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
var uri = encodeURI("http://www.example.com/image");
var path = fileSystem.root.toURL() + "appName/example.jpg";
fileTransfer.download(
uri,
path,
function(entry) {
refreshMedia.refresh(path); // Refresh the image gallery
},
function(error) {
console.log(error.source);
console.log(error.target);
console.log(error.code);
},
false,
{
headers: {
"Authorization": "dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
}
}
);
});
