android : deleting an image
Use the code below, it may help you.
File fdelete = new File(file_dj_path);
if (fdelete.exists()) {
if (fdelete.delete()) {
System.out.println("file Deleted :" + file_dj_path);
} else {
System.out.println("file not Deleted :" + file_dj_path);
}
}
to refresh gallery after deleting image use below code for send Broadcast
(for < KITKAT API 14)
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED,
Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
For >= KITKAT API 14 use below code
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[] { Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() }, null, new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
* @see android.media.MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener#onScanCompleted(java.lang.String, android.net.Uri)
*/
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri)
{
Log.i("ExternalStorage", "Scanned " + path + ":");
Log.i("ExternalStorage", "-> uri=" + uri);
}
});
Because:
ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED
is deprecated in KITKAT(API 14).

its working fine check below code
public void deleteImage() {
String file_dj_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/ECP_Screenshots/abc.jpg";
File fdelete = new File(file_dj_path);
if (fdelete.exists()) {
if (fdelete.delete()) {
Log.e("-->", "file Deleted :" + file_dj_path);
callBroadCast();
} else {
Log.e("-->", "file not Deleted :" + file_dj_path);
}
}
}
public void callBroadCast() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
Log.e("-->", " >= 14");
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[]{Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()}, null, new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
* @see android.media.MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener#onScanCompleted(java.lang.String, android.net.Uri)
*/
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
Log.e("ExternalStorage", "Scanned " + path + ":");
Log.e("ExternalStorage", "-> uri=" + uri);
}
});
} else {
Log.e("-->", " < 14");
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED,
Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
}
}
below is logs

I've seen a lot of answers suggesting the use of
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
This works but causes the Media Scanner to re-scan the media on the device. A more efficient approach would be to query/delete via the Media Store content provider:
// Set up the projection (we only need the ID)
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media._ID };
// Match on the file path
String selection = MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA + " = ?";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { file.getAbsolutePath() };
// Query for the ID of the media matching the file path
Uri queryUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Cursor c = contentResolver.query(queryUri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
// We found the ID. Deleting the item via the content provider will also remove the file
long id = c.getLong(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID));
Uri deleteUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, id);
contentResolver.delete(deleteUri, null, null);
} else {
// File not found in media store DB
}
c.close();
