Avoid toast when Media Scanner Complete

Question

In my app, I have functions of taking photos and open gallery to watch them. When user take a photo, it updates media through:

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED,
   Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));

But always appears saying something like "Media scan completed". I would like to remove this toast.

Thanks

Answer 1

Cancelling the toast shown by another process is not possible. You can follow this thread to force media scan without using broadcast

Answer 2

You could use sendBroadcast but just for a specific file (in your case the one created after taking the photo). This way you won't get the toast.

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(someFile)));
