I want to fetch all the images in android device. Therefore I used this code to fetch images-

private fun getAllShownImagesPath(activity: Activity): ArrayList<String>

 val uri: Uri = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
 val listOfAllImages = ArrayList<String>()
 var absolutePathOfImage : String

 val projection = arrayOf(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME)
 val orderBy = MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED
 val cursor = activity.contentResolver.query(uri, projection, null, null, orderBy)
 val indexData = cursor!!.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA)

 cursor.moveToLast()
 while (cursor.moveToPrevious())
 
 absolutePathOfImage = cursor.getString(indexData)
 listOfAllImages.add(absolutePathOfImage)
 
 cursor.close()

 return listOfAllImages

But this does not returns recently added images like if you downloaded it few hours ago.
This is somehow fixed when you reboot the device or the image you want to access is like one day old.
Note- you can also provide solution in java.

Thanks

Forcefully send broadcast then media cursor will be updated. call this before access media cursor

 sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE,Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
