basic Gallery questions....
I moved nearly 400 pictures from my PC to an SD card and uploaded them the Picture folder on the Prime. I then used Gallery to browse them - pretty nice but.
- the order that Gallery browses in from newest to oldest - I want to browse from oldest to newest. The picture properties were preserved. The file names from the camera is still preserved. How can I sort by date taken or filename? It is not obvious to me.
- some of the pictures required some editing. I lightened some up and hit "save" - popup said it was "saved to edited album". I then hit back (lower left back - not edit back) to return to the browse mode and the picture appeared as if it were not edited. Where does Gallery save the new picture? I would have thought it would have saved it in the album hat is being browsed.
I know these are basic questions - but it is the easy stuff not being obvious that is most annoying. Thank for any pointers or links to Gallery how-tos
We all had these moments when we just had the opportunity to take the perfect picture, but the camera app slowed us down and we missed it.
Thats why i came up with an idea which will allow you to take photos from your homescreen / anywhere with help of one of the hardware buttons without opening the camera app first.
This is where you guys come in. How do i go on from here and is this something you can achieve with the app tasker?
Would appreciate if you could give your thoughts or put me in the right direction if anything like this already exist!
Im using the galaxy s2 if that would make any difference
Managed to do something almost as good as i want it, its a tasker widget which open the camera and takes a picture.
Its a bit glitchy since it wont take a pic 2 of 5 times and it back out to fast if i add an option to either go home or kill the camera app.
I can post the tasker profile if anyone would like to take a look at it and help me out.
Take pics without opening the camera with tasker + instant upload & auto delete pics
I know this threads pretty old but it doesnt seem to have been fully answered and i wanted this function so... After lookin around i found this post but it didnt do what i wanted, tasker has been updated a lot since this was originally posted so...
A little more googling was done and a while later i came across a way of taking photos without waiting for the camera app to load up...
Create a widget to take a photo instantly without opening the camera by long pressing your home screen for the add dialog, selecting widgets and add a tasker, task widget.
Create a new task and name it
Add a new action - media, take photo
Set parameters - choose camera to use, specify filename, set naming sequence to series/chronological, check discreet for no sounds
*(uncheck 'show in gallery' if using the method described lower down to upload and delete photos with dropsync)
OK this and choose an icon. Then add the widget.
Click widget to take a photo.
A folder named tasker will have been created in /DCIM with the photo in.
I added this as well to save me from filling my phone with photos.
I'm assuming that you have Dropbox already for this...
Download and install DROPSYNC from the play store.
During the setup you will be prompted to link folders -
Link your /DCIM/CAMERA folder on the phone to the Camera Uploads folder of Dropbox
You will be asked what kind of sync you want - set this to upload and delete.
Turn on instant upload and set parameters as desired.
Now your phone will auto upload your camera's pictures straight to Dropbox and then delete the original on the device immediately. Make sure dropsync is not checked in any task killer you have as instant upload may not work.
You can change the dropsync linked folder (or add another if you have pro) to /DCIM/tasker to have your instant snaps instantly uploaded and deleted from handset.
NOTE:
I dont think this requires root access
I'm not usually one to start threads but this has gotten to be quite the nuisance. I'm coming from a Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.2.2 (I was kinda spoiled by the near Vanilla Android♥), and have never used HTC sense.
On AOKP stock android galley I could share it after selecting "View Image" in aviary.
Problem. I can't find my photos that I've edited with Aviary and saved.
What I do, how to reproduce.
1. Take a picture
2. Find it in your albums(which are a cluster**ck if you synced all your photos from your old device)
3. Share it with Aviary(may work with other photo editors)
4. Edit it somehow, then save it.
Here's where sh*t gets stupid.
5. A popup comes up saying where the photo was saved, with the options "View Image" or "Close"
6. Select view Image. YAY I found my photo that I just edited.
7. Look for the share button but only find "i" for details.......
8. Go back to the gallery and hopelessly search for the edited photo.
Thanks in advance!
Has anyone figured out a way to attach downloaded images to SMS/MMS? Often I'll download pictures to send to friends/family/etc and I haven't found a way to attach a downloaded item.
Images downloaded don't show up in Gallery. I can't share from Downloads because the sharing feature doesn't list Messenger as a target. When I try to share from Messenger, the Picture option allows attachment from Camera or Gallery... neither show downloaded images.
Anyone have any ideas? Super frustrating.
I am able to. I choose to attach a picture, select gallery, then switch from events to albums in the upper left and there is an all downloads folder there to choose from.

Works fine on CM12. Only issue i see is preview image ratio, it looks squeezed from top and bottom.
GT-I9505 (jfltexx latest nightly), i have changed lcd dencity from stock 480 to 420.
Thanks a lot for making this application! Made it very easy for me to change my lockscreen wallpaper in my device running CM12.1.

Review
You asked for a review, so here you go.
Question:
First, it seems you have fixed something that I have yet to figure out. You can place photos into the lockscreen that I can't. Since I can open the picture from the directory once it is placed there just fine, this issue has something to do with which pictures the system will use and which it won't. Are you doing any kind of editing to the picture other than just copying it to the proper location? After some tests, it looks like there is a file size limitation. How big of a file does the system accept and what API do you use to reduce the image? I'm just using the raw picture with no editing of any kind. I think it should be up to the user to edit using whatever they see fit, but I wasn't aware of a maximum filesize limitation in the OS (I'm running Temasek).
Review:
The Google Billing permission almost made me delete it without installing it. Something that simple shouldn't ask for money. Save that for your next program. You will only scare people away like that! Next, I find being forced to use Google Photos for this to be really annoying. I hate Google Photos, and it crashes on my device just as often as not, but that isn't the point. Its the whole design of the interface.
Here is a scenario ...
Lets say I'm browsing the web, say DeviantART, and I see a picture I want to put on my lockscreen. How many steps does this take?
Hold finger on Image
Click Save Image to Download to SD Card
Press Home Button
Click App Drawer
Find your APP and click it
Click Select Image
Find Picture in Google Photos
Click Apply
My solution ... (using hooks into Open file and Share system dialogs).
Hold finger on image
Tap icon next to share button
This assumes the last share was via my "Show On Lockscreen" APK, if not, you tap the share icon next to the list and tap "Show On Lockscreen" (1 more step). The point is that you don't need to leave the app, load a new one, and try to manually download files and then find them (even though I know where it downloaded to, Google Photos doesn't give me a file system view and you don't let me use any other method such as using my file manager). With my way, I don't have to find anything or look for anything. It doesn't touch the SD Card, it goes from the web directly to the lockscreen file.
So ... your app obviously works, otherwise you wouldn't have posted it, but I just hate the interface. Want to make a deal? Show me the code you use to reduce the image size so that the lockscreen will pick it up, and I'll give you the Intent code that lets you hook into the Open and Share dialogs so you can bring up your interface after the user selects an image. I have some other code you can use to let the user decide what app to use to choose an image (even the camera) so that if they load your app directly (instead of from an Open Image With ... or Share Image ... dialog outside your program), they won't need to be restricted to Google Photos. They can choose how to select the file. And with that, we both get what we want and everyone wins.
Very cool!
