ContentResolver throws FileNotFoundException on API Level 18

Question

When I try to open a file just after inserting it using ContentResolver on Android API Level 18 it throws the exception FileNotFoundException.

If I try to run the same code on API Level 17 it works fine.

String fileName = DateFormat.format("yyyyMMdd_hhmmss", new Date()).toString();  

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Images.Media.TITLE, fileName);
values.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");

ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = contentResolver.insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);

OutputStream outstream;
try {
    outstream = contentResolver.openOutputStream(uri);
    image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, outstream);
    outstream.close();

    return uri;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

I tried using Images.Media.insertImage() but it didn't work too. Looking source code of this method I realized that code looks much like mine.

Unfortunately using ContentResolver is not working as expected. So I decided to use other approach.

try {

    String fileName = DateFormat.format("yyyyMMdd_hhmmss", new Date()).toString();  

    File dir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
    dir.mkdirs();               

    File file = new File(dir, fileName + ".jpg");               

    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);

    image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);

    out.close();

    MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, 
                   new String[] { file.toString() }, 
                   null, 
                   null);               

} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
