React-native-fs: Images downloaded from url didn't show in album

[lee1994522]

In Android platform,images downloaded from url appear in files scanner,but don't show in system appliction 'album'.
But sometimes they appear in album after several hours
I consider that it need a broadcast to notice the system it has new files in.
Ask for help @johanneslumpe

Any updates .?

I feel that this is outside of the scope of the library, similar to https://github.com/johanneslumpe/react-native-fs/issues/34

This should be part of a separate library which allows manipulating the assets libraries.

Running into this issue also. The PR mentioned above is looking good.

Workaround:

import RNFetchBlob from "react-native-fetch-blob";
...
await RNFetchBlob.fs.scanFile([{ path: imageLocationAndName }]);
