Hi, that's what I'm using now, because I cannot make the first option runs. But I'm having problems with the second option too..
_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + ".nomedia"; Intent camara = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); File file = new File(_path); Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file); camara.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri); startActivityForResult(camara, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST); this is the code I'm using to "hide" the pictures I take with the camera, but they still appear in the Gallery app, which is what I want to avoid. And I want to avoid the mediascanner runs too... Please, please, help!
