Find Last time MediaScanner ran

Question

I am trying to find out if droid stores the last time the MediaScanner had been run. Anyone know a way to check or if android stores that data?

Answer 1

According to the documentation there is no way to find the last time the MediaScanner ran. However, you can force a scan by using the scanFile() function:

Answer 2

I don't know if android saves the time log for the media scanner activity, however, you would know if the media scanner is already finished scanning by handling the ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_FINISHED intent.
