Get the amount of pictures from device

I'm developing an application about data in device like count sms, mails. I can't find the way to get the amount of pictures.

How can I get the amount of pictures stored in the device? Any suggestions are welcome.

You can try with a query.

Something like this (this code was not intended for this goal, however i think this is the way to go):

Uri imagesUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.getContentUri("external"); // for SD Card only
String[] fields = {
        MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns._ID,
        MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA
    };

Cursor cursor = getBaseContext().getContentResolver().query(
        imagesUri, 
        fields, 
        MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA+" = '*'" ,
        null,
        null);
num_images = cursor.getCount();

I didn't try this, i used something like this to get all ordered images from a folder.

Try using directly the COUNT keyword in the query.
Hope this helps.
