I want to show Captured image in gallery as well as in my app.Now if image deleted from gallery image will deleted from app storage? I want to retain image and show in my app even after deleted from Gallery.How could I do this?
Create 2 folder to store image.
Create .nomedia file in one of the folder so that every media file that is inside of the folder will not be seen in the gallery.
Create 2 copy of the images one in .nomedia file folder and one in normal folder and use that folder to show files in your application.
My app saves images to a subfolder of the DCIM folder on the SD-card in the phone.
I do not wish these images to be shown in the androids gallery app.
How can I achive this?
add an empty file called .nomedia in the directory where you store the images
To hide your image file add . to file name for example sdcard/DEIM/yourapp/.yourimage.jpg
this will hide an Image.
If you want to hide one folder add . to the folder name sdcard/DEIM/.yourapp/image1.jpg
I found this solution: Stop saving photos using Android native camera
The idea is to check which files are in the gallery just before taking the picture and just after it, delete that one that is new.
It's not the cleanest solution but it works.
May It will helps you!
I want all camera picture from storage. I know that all images are in DCIM folder and i will get it from that folder (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() and then folder dir name ) but Is there any API or any internal method to give it? because in DCIM folder there is also Facebook folder and may others any i think DCIM folder name wary with device to device
Thanks in advance
Is there any API or any internal method to give it?
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM)
because in DCIM folder there is also Facebook folder
Individual apps are welcome to create sub-folders within DIRECTORY_DCIM. Conversely, there is no requirement for any camera app to store its pictures in DIRECTORY_DCIM, or to even store the images as files of any form.
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
Put a file named .nomedia in the folder. This can be a zero-byte file if you want -- the name is what matters.
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.
You will start the name of the folder with a period (.). Example:
.asdhsj
Just start the folder name with period (.), it can be any name, but needs to start with period. After that the folder and it's files don't appear in gallery anymore :)
For people who are on android version 5.1.1 some of you cant do this but what you can do is change the extention of that file, for example image.png change ".png" to something like ".txt" or something that way it doesnt show up in your gallery
Happily album covers has a solution.
Here is the solution ;
Rename all album cover picture files to albumart.jpg
My detailed answer can be found here Stop images on sd card from showing up in gallery?
I'm building an application which download images from the web and store them into my SDCard, in order to make them invisible in the gallery I put this line to generate a .nomedia file:
FileWriter f = new FileWriter("/sdcard/Android/data/CopyImage/cache/.nomedia");
the application can successfully download the image and make the .nodata file on the same folder, but the thing is, the image is still appear on the gallery.
How could that be?
Can anybody provide me a solution?
Thank you very much
Add a "." to the beginning of folder name instead.
BTW which phone is giving u this issue. My guess is that ur seeing old cached files in the Gallery
The .nomedia file has to be the first file in a folder in order to ignore media there. If files are already indexed, just rename such folders forth and back (opening the Gallery in the middle) and there you go.
After you created the ".nomedia" file, you must reboot you phone and then the images of the folder will not appear on the gallery.
