Java Android getContentResolver().query for specific Camera folder to get cursor in Android API level <= 28 devices

I want to get the last taken image from the Camera folder. I don't want to get last screenshot or anything else. I just want to take the last image of the Camera folder.

This code works, but if there is a folder named "Cameras" or "xxx..Camera..xxx", the program also fetches the data of those folders.

 cursor = MainActivity.this.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
                null,
                MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA + " like ? ",
                new String[] {"%Camera%"},
                MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATE_TAKEN + " DESC");

But I don't want to query the folders whose name contains the "Camera" character sequence. I just want to query for Camera default save folder. In my case /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera.

I can query for specific directory by using 

MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME

Now my code works like this and without any problems:

cursor = MainActivity.this.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
                null,
                MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME + " = ? ",
                new String[] {"Camera"},
                MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATE_TAKEN + " DESC");
