Stop saving photos using Android native camera
check this code..
private void FillPhotoList() {
// initialize the list!
GalleryList.clear();
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DISPLAY_NAME };
for(int i=0;i<projection.length;i++)
Log.i("InfoLog","projection "+projection[0].toString());
// intialize the Uri and the Cursor, and the current expected size.
Cursor c = null;
Uri u = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
Log.i("InfoLog","FillPhoto Uri u "+u.toString());
// Query the Uri to get the data path. Only if the Uri is valid.
if (u != null)
{
c = managedQuery(u, projection, null, null, null);
}
// If we found the cursor and found a record in it (we also have the id).
if ((c != null) && (c.moveToFirst()))
{
do
{
// Loop each and add to the list.
GalleryList.add(c.getString(0)); // adding all the images sotred in the mobile phone(Internal and SD card)
}
while (c.moveToNext());
}
Log.i(INFOLOG,"gallery size "+ GalleryList.size());
}
and this is where the method is doing all magic
/** Method will check all the photo is the gallery and delete last captured and move it to the required folder.

Avoid that the gallery saves the picture taken with the camera in Android
I found this solution:
Stop saving photos using Android native camera
The idea is to check which files are in the gallery just before taking the picture and just after it, delete that one that is new.
It's not the cleanest solution but it works.
Internal App Camera Photos Improperly Saved to Gallery
I want these photos to stay 100% internal to my own app for privacy reasons
Then you should not be using ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE. By definition, that delegates the photo-taking to an arbitrary app, one of hundreds of possible apps based on device and user.
Instead, take the picture yourself, in your own app, either using the camera APIs directly or by using a library that wraps them.
On certain devices (not all of them) the photos taken within my app are being copied into the camera roll on the phone
Some camera apps will save the photos where they want, possibly in addition to copying the photo to your EXTRA_OUTPUT location. That is up to the developers of those camera apps, not you. Arguably, that behavior is a bug, but you have no practical means of getting any camera app developer to fix that bug, let alone developers of all buggy camera apps.
How can I stop images generated by my application from showing in the gallery?
add an empty file called .nomedia in the directory where you store the images
React-native-camera don't want to save images
The correct answer is Edit #2!
You can open an issue at our repo: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera
The image is saved in your app's cache directory.
When the promise is resolved, the object contains an uri, the path to the image. Or you can pass the option base64: true, to receive the base64 representation of your image from the takePictureAsync promise.
With the base64 string, you can send it to your server. That is what we do in our apps.
Edit: if you really do not want it saved in your app's cache directory, we could create an option in the takePictureAsync method to do it. Feel free to open an issue about this in our repo as a feature request.
Edit #2: Correct answer:
You are using RCTCamera, which saves the image on the device by default.
Use the prop captureTarget, passing the value Camera.constants.CaptureTarget.temp.
So:
<Camera
...
captureTarget={Camera.constants.CaptureTarget.temp}
...
</Camera>
Saving photos to DCIM/Camera - why aren't they showing up in Photos app?
After the photo has been saved, add this line to let the Photos app know there are new photos:
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.parse("file://" + photo.getAbsolutePath())));
