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())));
}
}
