Load images depending on creation date

I'm searching a way to find and load images from Pictures folder depending on creation date. For example I want to load all pictures took in the last month, but I don't know their name.

I already read about Picasso library, but as written in the documentation, the url is required.

So instead of scan the entire folder and then check creation date, does it exist a quicker way to accomplish this task?

Thanks

Maybe this could work for you. You may add selection clauses to query as well, to filter files by date for example.

Uri uri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[] {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA}, null, null, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED + " ASC");
if (cursor != null) {
    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(cursor.getString(0));
    }
    cursor.close();
}

Use Timestamp while storing Images

String currentDateTimeString = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(new Date());

Give this as file name. This works only if you use separate activity for clicking images.
