Hi everyone!
I have loaded a UTexture2D from image file successfully, and then I try to save it as an asset sothat I can use it in my Content Browser, but it did not work, I can not find Texture2D asset in my Content Browser, what should i do?

Here are my codes:

//save an asset
FString ImageAssetPackagePath = TEXT("/Game/ImageAsset/ModelDataAsset");
UPackage* MyImagePackage = CreatePackage(nullptr, *ImageAssetPackagePath);
bool isValid;
int32 texWidth, texHeight;
FString texturepath = TEXT("H:/ue4/CADTEST/test2/export/Brick_Non_Uniform_Running_Red.jpg");
UTexture2D* textureParam = LoadTexture2DFromFile(texturepath, isValid, texWidth, texHeight);
textureParam->Rename(TEXT("Brick_Non_Uniform_Running_Red"), MyImagePackage);
FAssetRegistryModule::AssetCreated(textureParam);
textureParam->GetOutermost()->MarkPackageDirty();

LoadTexture2DFromFile():

UTexture2D* ABuilding::LoadTexture2DFromFile(const FString& FullFilePath, bool& IsValid, int32& Width, int32& Height)
{
    IsValid = false;
    UTexture2D* LoadedT2D = NULL;


    IImageWrapperModule& ImageWrapperModule = FModuleManager::LoadModuleChecked<IImageWrapperModule>(FName("ImageWrapper"));

    EImageFormat InFormat;
    if (FullFilePath.EndsWith(".png"))
    {
        InFormat = EImageFormat::PNG;
    }
    else if (FullFilePath.EndsWith(".jpg") || FullFilePath.EndsWith(".jpeg"))
    {
        InFormat = EImageFormat::JPEG;
        UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Load image JPEG"));
    }
    else if (FullFilePath.EndsWith(".bmp"))
    {
        InFormat = EImageFormat::BMP;
    }
    else
    {
        UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Load image fail"));
        return NULL;
    }

    TSharedPtr<IImageWrapper> ImageWrapper = ImageWrapperModule.CreateImageWrapper(InFormat);

    //Load From File
    //FString FullFilePath = UWebImageDownloader::WebImageFolder() + "/" + FileName + GetJoyImageExtension(ImageFormat);
    if (!FPlatformFileManager::Get().GetPlatformFile().FileExists(*FullFilePath))
    {
        UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("read image fail"));
        return NULL;
    }
    TArray<uint8> RawFileData;
    if (!FFileHelper::LoadFileToArray(RawFileData, *FullFilePath)) { return NULL; }


    //Create T2D!
    if (ImageWrapper.IsValid() && ImageWrapper->SetCompressed(RawFileData.GetData(), RawFileData.Num()))
    {

        TArray<uint8> UncompressedBGRA;
        if (ImageWrapper->GetRaw(ERGBFormat::BGRA, 8, UncompressedBGRA))
        {
            LoadedT2D = UTexture2D::CreateTransient(ImageWrapper->GetWidth(), ImageWrapper->GetHeight(), PF_B8G8R8A8);

            //Valid?
            if (!LoadedT2D) {
                UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Load T2D fail"));
                return NULL;
            }
            //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            //Out!
            Width = ImageWrapper->GetWidth();
            Height = ImageWrapper->GetHeight();

            //Copy!
            void* TextureData = LoadedT2D->PlatformData->Mips[0].BulkData.Lock(LOCK_READ_WRITE);
            FMemory::Memcpy(TextureData, UncompressedBGRA.GetData(), UncompressedBGRA.Num());
            LoadedT2D->PlatformData->Mips[0].BulkData.Unlock();

            //Update!
            LoadedT2D->UpdateResource();
        }
    }

    // Success!
    IsValid = true;
    //UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("LoadedT2D success"));
    return LoadedT2D;
}

It shows the asset I created is an Empty Package:

well, I make the decision to import my image file by AssetTool directly, it is another way to fix this problem.
