Genymotion doesn't recognize images on sdcard

Question

So I've been playing with Genymotion. Love using it however haven't been able to figure out how to get images into the Android Gallery app (so i can test another app). Currently running Android 4.3 on a Galaxy Nexus.

Tried pushing images through adb and through eclipse's file explorer. The images are copied over fine to /mnt/shell/emulated/0/Pictures.

Any advice? Is it possible to get pictures in Gallery using Genymotion?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Managed to do it from the browser, however still curious about doing transferring images into Gallery via adb or the file system.

Answer 1

The problem is that the gallery needs to rescan the folders to index the pictures on the storage. adb push does not call the gallery to rescan.

You can launch this broadcast to make the gallery reload its content after you copied your picture:

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED -d file:///sdcard/
