Hide Files from Android Gallery

Hide Video/Images From Android Mobile

So That You can Only/Still access them using a Filemanager, but other applications such as the Gallery etc will not be able to access the files.



 Generally, Android assumes files that begin with a period ( . ) as hidden files. But what if you want to hide other files that do not start with a period? This is what you have to do.

1. Use a file manager to access the folder containing the files that you don’t want to show.

2. Create a new text document in this folder (next to the file that you want to protect).

3. Without filling any content in the text file, rename the filename to “.nomedia” (without the apostrophes).

Thats it. Now the files that reside at the same level as this .nomedia file will not be visible to public.
