Android storing image and view it in gallery

Question

I am storing image from an imageView which is available as bitmap.

I am storing the image as test.jpg in the external memory although the image gets saved by that name (I confirmed by using a file manager in phone) the image is not presented in the gallery where all other images are shown.

Why is this so?

media rescan is normally done on reboot.

you need to trigger it manual to get the new file to be include in gallery.
