Re: [android-developers] Re: Don't show images in SD Card in Android Gallery
Kostya, thanks for the info, but as I'm targeting low specs androids also, I'll follow Hari suggestion (it's so simple and obvious that I'm ashamed of not thinking about it myself). Thanks for the help!!!

Re: [android-developers] Re: Don't show images in SD Card in Android Gallery
Create a file called .nomedia in the directory you're using to store images. This is officially supported in 2.3, but, AFAIK, also works in earlier versions. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html#MEDIA_IGNORE_FILENAME -- Kostya 2011/1/14 Hari Edo > > Have you tried writing them with unusual filename extensions and other > obfuscation?

[android-developers] Re: Don't show images in SD Card in Android Gallery
Have you tried writing them with unusual filename extensions and other obfuscation? Your program may know it's a .png file but many media applications would likely ignore a file if it's got a .notpng extension. If you can delete them after first run, so much the better, but not necessary.
