Oh man.. after 3 days of searching and bothering a couple people ive
finally found the solution.. this one line of code:
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.parse
("file://"
+ Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
thats it.. it sends an intent on which the mediascanner starts itself,
and voila, the whole external storage searched for media.. find new
items, deletes the ones that dont exist anymore.
