I just tested out Seth's answer and it worked fine on my HTC EVO. II created the .nomedia
file file using Notepadd++Notepad++ and the default Notepad on Windows, so both of those should create a .nomedia
file just fine. Even though this worked for me, I still suggest you make a backup of your files before trying this (I did when I tested), since from what I read this in an unreliable method for users to apply. AgainAgain from what I read it works fine if the media files are placed in the folder after the .nomedia
file is placed in the folderit, but that if the files are there before the .nomedia
file then it may delete the files. IfIf Seth's answer does not work for you, you may want to try creating an empty folder (with the same name as the one you want to put the .nomedia
file in), place the .nomedia
file in the folder and then add the photos (or whatever media you want), and see if that fixes the issue. II was going to try this if the first method failed, but it hasn't deleted my media yet, so we'll see what happens. IfIf either of these methods are not helpful, there are a few apps in the market that claim to hide your media. Again -Again, BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST -, since I did read a comment that one user's photos were deleted.
Hope this helps.
