I have this app that only lets me post a photo that I TAKE NOW, but I have already saved photos I want to post. How can I send the app those photos instead when it opens the camera app?
Is there some way to override/hack the intent, or declare that a file manager is a Camera type of app, or something like that?

Hello.
I just bought my Sony Xperia Z3 , I used to have Samsung Galaxy S4.
My issue is that when I click the review thumbnail on camera that is on the top right, it shows the last picture I took but when I move right or left it views other pictures which I didn't take with camera, like screen shots and pictures I saved from the internet. I don't want that ! I want the camera app to show only the pictures I personally took. how can I do that ?
I think the reason is that the camera app open the picture in Album app which shows all pictures on the device, Is there any way to change it into an other app ?
*Bump*
I really need an answer
Where do your photos save to an external SD or the internal?
Anyway, search your device for a file called .nomedia (If you can't find it then you need a browser that can display hidden files)
You will then need to determine the folder locations of the files you do not want to see, and place then .nomedia file in each of these locations.
You may have to then delete all the app data for the album application, and manually delete the thumbnails.
danw_oz, that won't work as you might have pictures you want to see in other folders. Say I took a screenshot earlier in the day to send to someone later. I open up my camera, take a picture and view it. I slide across and see my last screenshot I took earlier in the day. By this example, it's not like I would put a .nomedia file in my screenshot folder because I will need to access that later!
It doesn't matter if the camera photos were saved on external or internal, Album will show ALL latest photos, either downloaded or taken with a camera, internally or externally. This is the annoying part.
Another example, I use a chat program (like whatsapp) called WeChat and someone sends me a photo and I want to save it and keep it. The WeChat app will save it in its own WeChat folder. After this, if I go to my camera, take a shot, swipe to see the next photo, I would see the saved WeChat photo. Again, I do NOT want to put a .nomedia on that folder because I would want to see it.
It seems like there is no solution for this yet !
It's like what Tri3Dent said, .nomedia file wont do the job because I don't the pictures to disappear completely from my device, I want to be able to view them in Album app itself but not through the camera !
Thanks anyway
That what the camera app is showing, photos from the album.
So you have answered your own question

Yep, and that is when I manually browser to those folders using a different photo browser like quickpic

While taking pictures using camera, you have to view the pics that you have taken. Thats when this feature comes in handy. But it shows the images not taken from camera also (it browses through all image folders and including the default camera storage location). Thats irritating.
Can we get that feature back? Can someone tweak the app and get the feature back?
When you are in the album app click, the three lines at the top, then select folders, then select your cameras default save location
Hello,
my problem is, that, unlike with iOS devices, VSCO decided to not offer the option that pictures taken with the app will be saved to the general pictures folder. I want to use VSCO as my main camera app, but each time I take a picture I have to go to the album inside the app and "export" it, so it shows up when I open the general photos app.
So I wonder - VSCO must save these pictures somewhere internally in a "hidden" folder or sth. Does anybody know where they store the pictures. Or has somebody an idea how I could locate it? I could then probably automatically move the files to another folder or point a gallery app to this folder.
Any tip is appreciated.
Is there an app that when you take a photo via camera, saves duplicate of this photo to any other map on the phone? For example if you take a photo of police officer, and he requests from you to delete the photo from main photos folder, but you still keep duplicate somewhere else?
I want to advice this 2 problem, with my mi note 10, already rised into this threads:

Google photo recognize as 0.7megapixel (960x480) photo taken with main camera, and it will backup photos with such this low resolution.
Amazon photos isn't simply able to complete a backup.
Really bad situation here....
I've already triggered mi support, what we can do?
No problem with Google Photos from my Note 10.
Smae identical problem about Google photo
No problem for me, Google Photos backup 27MP and 108MP photos without any issues

Yeah, no problem here either. All photos backed up in full size.
Some of my photos are backed up but others are flagged as 0.7 Mpixels. It's not related to our phone because I found the issue on Mi9T/9T Pro forums. It seems that moving the photos from one folder and back again to the original fixes the issue.
Same problem
Some photos back up fine, but some show erroneously as 0.7Mpix and don’t back up to Google photos. Those ones also erroneously show no GPS location.
Same problem. To correct it I have to clear all the data of Google Photos app and delete low res duplicates. It is really annoying
There is a workaround it (better than clearing the google photos)
the methods are:
1. Open the built-in Photo App. Create an album(ex. G-Backup Album) inside the built-in photo App. This will create a folder with the same name as the album.
2. Select all you photos and click "Add to" button below. Then select the "G-Backup Album" album and click on "Move" option. After this, all photos will be moved to "G-Backup Album" Album.
3. Open Google Photo App, add "G-Backup Album" folder to the list of backup folders in the Setting. Then you will see that all photos are being uploaded normally and the size are shown correctly.
Makesure u dont open the Google Photo apps.. before you do this methods
Hi Wing_Zero85 in my case something similar happens to my "mi note 10".
Neither the amazon photos app nor google photos automatically upload the photos to the cloud.
I have activated all the permissions, I have tried many things and nothing, they do not automatically upload photos to the cloud.
With google photos it doesn't bother me too much, but with amazon photos it does bother me.
For amazon photos to upload photos to the cloud, I have to manually open the app, because it doesn't automatically.
For the other apps, there are no problems, whatsapp, telegram ... they work well in the background, notifications arrive well .....
But what happens with the amazon photos app is very annoying and frustrating.
First of all, i googled for quite some time to find a solution, but I didnt even find other people with this problem. Anyway, I try my luck here.
Photos taken with the camera appear in the xiaomi app as well as in Google photos and in Whatsapp and Telegram, if you want to send a photo via this app. So far, so good.
BUT: If I edit a photo with the Xiaomi photo app, the edited photo only shows up in the Xiaomi app, not in Google photos nor in Whatsapp, TG,... When I browse to the DCIM-folder with a file manager, the original photo as well as the edited photo are in the same folder.
Anyone has a solution or at least an explanation for this?
