I'm working on an app that allows the users to upload multiple images to my site. It works great on a droidx and on the simulator for the phone and tablet. The problem I'm running into is with the asus tablet, where it doesn't appear to be creating thumbnails for pictures. I've tried both taking pictures with the camera and downloading them off the internet. Then I open every image in the gallery, since that usually generates thumbnails. However, when I run my app, it tells me that there are 0 thumbnails even though it tells me there are 3 images taken with the camera, which is correct.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the tablet to start generating thumbnails?

It's unlikely that your app will have the control needed to force the tablet to generate thumbnails, if indeed there is a simple solution to it, so I would recommend not relying on the presence of thumbnails. – Matthew Read♦ Apr 9 '12 at 22:45
I need to have the thumbnails to be able to show the user what images are available to upload. If I use scaled down images, then the app crashes because it's out of memory – nick Apr 10 '12 at 17:51
Don't load the whole image and display it with automatic scaling, do the scaling yourself and only keep the scaled version in memory. You could even generate your own thumbnails :P – Matthew Read♦ Apr 10 '12 at 18:49
