Android Question How do I copy a image file from Gallery using code?

[gregchao]

Without the help of the User (e.g. ContentChooser), is there any way of getting an image from Gallery if I know the filename and album? I am able to save an image to Gallery and delete it but am unable to copy it without the User selecting it.

You cannot directly access external files. You need ContentChooser or ExternalStorage.
