Thanks in advance
Is there any API or any internal method to give it?
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM)
because in DCIM folder there is also Facebook folder
Individual apps are welcome to create sub-folders within DIRECTORY_DCIM. Conversely, there is no requirement for any camera app to store its pictures in DIRECTORY_DCIM, or to even store the images as files of any form.

I wonder if it is possible to have access to deleted photos or other way to have a listener on the button to remove any pictures?
Or a collector of memoir where I can find a trace deleted photos?

How to delete a file from SD card?
I want to copy pictures clicked by the user to the Data folder for an application on the Galaxy Tab. Can someone please help me with the code to move/copy a file from the Media folder to the application data folder.
Hey Check this link where you can also remove the image from DCIM folder where android store default image.
I have a method in my application which retrieves the last saved image in my DCIM/Camera folder and copies it to another location on the SD card. I've just tested it on another phone and found that it defaults saving to DCIM/100MEDIA. How am I able to get this path?
I ended up writing some code which looped through all the folders in the DCIM folder and retrieved the path of the lastModified() folder.
Looks like it is manufacturer dependent. In addition to using methods described in book, it seems also allowing the user to choose/override the default you "discover" would be an important option.

Unfortunately, there is not a method call to tell you which directory might be used underneath the DCIM directory for Camera
pictures. There are a couple of methods though to tell you where the
top of the SD card is. The first is
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() and it returns a File object
for the top-level directory for the SD card.

Do all Android phones with a built-in camera use a folder called "DCIM" to store captured images?

Maybe this can help you:
File picDir;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 7)
picDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
else
picDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(), "Pictures/");
Hope this can help. Based on this.
I'm using HTC Dream and trying to read the images stored in the "default" album folder of this phone. But I've yet to found out what's the folder path to those images file.
When I mount the phone to my comp, some of the default images are in:
/E0FD-1813/DCIM/
and the photos taken using the phone are stored in
/E0FD-1813/DCIM/100MEDIA/
But using those paths, accessing the images throws a "No Such File" error.
So
do you know what's the path to that image folder? What would be the path patterns (if any) in other Android phones?
I don't need to set any additional permission to access those files, do I?
Do you know how I can build a "file browsing" widget in my activity? I've searched and seems like there is no such widget and I've to install app that does file browsing. In any case, how to incorporate that as a file-browsing view in my current activity?
Thanks for your kind advice!
But I've yet to found out what's the folder path to those images file.
There is no single folder.
do you know what's the path to that image folder?
There is no single folder. Use the MediaStore content provider.
I want to know that 100MEDIA folder in the DCIM is created byDefault or not. when i save the Image byDefault where it will stored.
Well, the 100MEDIA folder can't be created by default, because on my nexus one I have only a 100ANDRO and a Camera folder inside the DCIM folder. The 100ANDRO is empty, the Camera is filled with images and videos I have taken.
As I just read a bit the documentation I guess there is no "default" folder to store a picture. I get an byte array which enables you to store the picture wherever you want.
