Hi Paul, As you suspect, the gallery depends on the mediascanner to update the list of files.
The samsung MyFiles app will rescan/refresh the contents of a directory every time you re-open the app. To "force" a mediascanner update on a directory, you might want to use * scanFile*. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaScannerConnection.html public static void *scanFile* (Context *context*, String[] *paths*, String[] *mimeTypes*, MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener *callback*) Alternately u can use a broadcast intent for the same purpose: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE Also note that by default, "internal" data of any app is considered private, and mediascanner won't scan the app's private directory for media files: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal regards CVS -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
