Images not shown in photos using adb push pictures to android 11 emulator?

Question

Before android 11, I can use adb push images to /sdcard/DCIM/ directory and use am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE -d <file path>, then images will show in gallery.

Now I find this approach doesn't work in android 11 emulator, images are pushed to devices, but they won't show without a restart.

Is there anyway I can transfer images from host to emulator and make them appear in photo gallery?

Answer 1

Try:

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE\
 --receiver-include-background -d file:///sdcard

Where you can replace /sdcard with the actual path or directory.
