How to scan videos using MediaScannerConnection scanFile?












0















My app is to download images/videos from internet, I tried to scan the downloaded image/video to show it up in gallery, I did scan the downloaded image but the video didn't show in gallery. Here is my code :



    @Override
protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {
file_name = strings[0].substring(strings[0].lastIndexOf("/") + 1);

try {
InputStream input = null;
OutputStream output = null;
HttpURLConnection connection = null;

try {
URL url = new URL(strings[0]);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

connection.connect();
if (connection.getResponseCode() != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK)
return "Server returned HTTP " + connection.getResponseCode() + " "
+ connection.getResponseMessage();
//}

int filelength = connection.getContentLength();
file_size = filelength;

input = connection.getInputStream();
output = new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile()
+ "/DownloadsFile/" + file_name);

byte data = new byte[4096];
long total = 0;
int count;

while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
if (isCancelled()) {
return null;
}
total += count;
if (filelength > 0) {
publishProgress((int) (total * 100 / filelength));
}
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return e.toString();
} finally {
try {
if (output != null) {
output.close();
}
if (input != null) {
input.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
}
} finally{

}

return null;
}


So, How to use the MediaScannerConnection scanFile method to show videos in gallery?
