How can I refresh MediaStore on Android?

by

Here is an easy to use ‘single file based‘ solution:

Adding a file:

Whenever you add a file, inform MediaStore‘s Content Provider using:

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(newMediaFile)));

Deleting a file:

Similarly, when you delete a file, inform MediaStore‘s Content Provider using:

getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null)  // (Credit goes to [DDSports][1])
