Photo Deletion- External Storage of Android
So I created the cursor and everything and I'm getting the imagepath as follows:
int imagePath = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
String currentPath = cursor.getString(imagePath);
File file = new File(currentPath);
file.delete();
I'm getting the path correct which is like "/storage/emulated/.../IMG.jpg" but the file deletion is not working.
I'm new to Android and still confused about internal and external storage.
