After more digging...
Thanks to nfordbscndrd and all others who pondered this problem.
To paraphrase John Lennon, "if there's such a thing as a genius, Erel is one"
To get your screen shot immediately available to the gallery (and other apps), add this code towards the bottom of the doc example:
Dim fullfilepath,ffilename As String
ffilename = dt & ".png"
fullfilepath = File.DirRootExternal
Out = File.OpenOutput(fullfilepath, ffilename, False)
Bmp.WriteToStream(Out, 100, "PNG")
Out.Close
Dim intent1 As Intent
intent1.Initialize ("android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE","file://"_
& fullfilepath&"/"&ffilename)
Dim phone1 As Phone
phone1.SendBroadcastIntent(intent1)
I discovered this solution after researching on the regular android developer forum and discovered the general topics of "broadcast" and "mediascanner".
Then, I searched the B4A forum and wiki and found code similar to the above that Erel had provided as a example in a different context.
Again, thanks to all.
