android: how to hide folder from appearing in the Gallery

Viewed 81562

I have an application that creates a folder in the sd-card. After that, I do several operations which may result in storing different media files, graphics in my folder. The problem is that this folder is then visible in the Gallery section which is not appropriate. How can I hide the folder or the contents of my folder from appearing in the Gallery?

Looking forward for a response Thanks

Go to My Files folder, then Pictures or create a folder and name it whatever you want. Go the newly created folder, add another folder again and name it .nomedia. Copy or move photos in the folder (not the .nomedia coz it won't show after creating it). Then you check in the gallery, and voila! Folder isn't shown!

PS: The pictures you have copied/moved can be viewed only in My Files folder, which is much safer.. ;) PPS: This works on my samsung galaxy win.

Hope I had helped a little Thanks.
