[APP] Gallery Excluder v.1.1.1 (11.05.2011)

Inspired by this post on the blog I decided to ease up the exclusion of directories from the gallery/media database. Gallery Excluder does the job for me.
Here's why:
Many apps create folders on the sd-card and drop their stuff there. Often, they place images as well. Now that Android checks the sd-card for new media from time to time, these folders will be added to the media database and displayed in the stock Gallery app.
Here's how:
Gallery Excluder lists all direct subfolders of '/sdcard' respectively '/mnt/sdcard' and displays them in a list. If an item/folder gets checked there is a '.nomedia' placed in that folder. If the folder gets unchecked the '.nomedia' is removed.
Since it can take a while to have the gallery update you can force a manual update via options menu.
So please let me know if such a tool can be helpful for anyone except myself.
Now with subdirectories. Downside: there is no feedback when you selected a subfolder for its parent. E.g. when you excluded /mnt/sdcard/folder/subfolder/ you can't recognize it when viewing folder /mnt/sdcard/ (folder won't be selected).
If you feel like supporting my work click some ads. This is an experiment for me to figure if ads work. Thank you.
Market release
- long press an item to dive into the subfolder
- back takes you up one level
- select all/none
- hint for 1st time users

TODO for next version(s):
- external sd card support

Thanks in advance,

This sounds very useful! Ill give it a try
--
works great. got rid of a bunch of cached Beautiful Widget Themes thumbnails and other stuff cluttering the gallery
From something awesome

works a treat, nice and simple saves me messing about .nomedia files.
Thumbs up from me

Great idea. I just DL'ed QuickPic to fix this exact problem. I'll give it a shot!

Also, if you don't mind me suggesting, it would be nice to have an option where you select which folders to add instead of which folders to remove from the gallery. Then if any new apps add new folders with random images they would automatically have .nomedia added
From something awesome

check out the app "quickpic" -- kinda does what you're talking about here.

Just a heads up...
It wouldn't exclude the folder "com.espn.score_center" no matter how many times I tried. I had to manually add the .nomedia file myself to get it to work...

Glad you guys like it.
@killersnowman: I could introduce a black-list/white-list mode that lets you choose which way around you want to look at it.

Thanks mate! Yes this is useful, .nomedia files made easy and simple

more ss plzzzz

love this, now all my custom icons won't show up in gallery
thanks

Knox!!!, simply amazing! When will you roll this out to the android market? It will be a sensation. Cleaned up all the duplicated gallery pics, etc.

@V07T: does "ss" mean screenshots?
@Rico ANDROID: hm, good question. I could publish it on the market right now. Don't know if there is a need for it. I don't wanna spoil the market with another crappy app that noone needs...

I bet you just about every newbie to android as well as others are having the same clutter in Gallery and would love the results of duplicated clutter removed from the Gallery Display. I have been chasing down cached and replicated pics and icons . This app made it so easy.
You should upload it unless you are working on a paid version. I dont know how that works but wish I had your skills.

awesome, now my porn doesn't have to show in gallery!

Chencking in to say no errors here. I have powered down and booted up, no glitches at all

Sweet, sounds good.
Will give you guys time to check for errors until tomorrow. If there will be no glitches found I'll release it to the market.
Btw., I'm thinking about introducing tabs. One for a black-list, one for a white-list (see screenshots). What do you think?

Tabs look great . Love to hear others feedback too, but I am sold!

Nice App, I was using something else on the market for this, but glad this one is on XDA!
For me I only need gallery to scan just a few folders
1)\sdcard\MyDocs
2)\sdcard\DCIM
3)\sdcard\Zedge (or other wallpaper download app)
A white list to add just a few folders (with nested subfolders) will be great, provided that once you enter something into the white list it should exclude every other folder (ignoring the black list)

I'm create a google group for Wikipedia for Android app, hope we can talk more about features and improvement
group link http://groups.google.com/group/wikipedia-for-android
and other who like this app , please join us welcome

Dark Theme feature coming soon~~

Good app, my wants/suggestions.
-provide a "near me" option to search wikipedia pages near my current location. Love this function when traveling.
-Queue mode. Maybe long press of a link within an article adds to your reading list. Or maybe long press opens article in new tab. This is useful when reading pages and coming across articles you want to read later, but allows you to continue reading current article without having to navigate to the new article.
-save offline pages to sdcard.
As far as I know none of the wikipedia apps have all of these features. It would be nice to get down to one Wiki app on my phone. Thanks for the great app!

Source Code ?
Hi !
I know it's an old thread but I'm currently making an app for my own Wiki. ( DroidWiki.de )
I made a working fork of the official Wikipedia for my Wiki but I'm not able to give it the holo style. (Phonegap )
Would you mind to open source your app or pm me the source code ?
I would really apreciate it. :good:

SEARCH EVRYTHING
Hey guys,
Iv'e published my new app for android power users who have lots of files on their device and want easy access to them. It's called Search Everything. It's a file search app that scans your file system and indexes it. Then filters the list by your search term. The result is a fast almost instant results. It operates much like the program "Everything" on windows.
Google Play Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marlon.searcheverything
Would like to hear some feedback

I'd really love to use this app full time but it does not list any files on my external SD (/storage/sdcard1).
Also, a few basic optinos like show/hide hidden files or garbage files from cache folders.
On the plus side, I really love the sheer speed and i like the color and simple interface design.
Hope there's an update sooon!
Good work, thanks much!

Looks great but could you add option to show files thumbnails?

Great app, fast and smooth search but it did not index my external SD card. Couldn't find any thing in my SD card.

Gets force close at every startup. Running stock rom 4.4.4 franco kernel

Great app very fast any plans for root and website searches?

Quick and simple, but on open containing folder rootexplorer 2.x opens the default home directory instead..

The app works great- just like Everything
I've got a suggestion- it would be great if you could make a widget like google's quick search bar, or an app "in" the notification bar (like Notable).
And if it could search apps too.
I know it's a lot- but it's just to get you thinking if you want to add something (the app works great as it is, for me)

LOL you beat me to it. I was gonna suggest the same.
This app is great! Exactly what I have been searching for for a long time! Here are a few more suggestions:
Option to exclude specific locations from being indexed/searched.
Option to launch the app by pressing the search capacitive button, instead of the default google search app.
EDIT: forgot to mention the reason to exclude specific locations - don't really need the gallery thumbnail files in search, do we?

And what about searching/launching apps? Possible? Planned?

Great app, great work
I have now installed this app on my Nexus 7(2013), Nexus 5, and a Motto E and it works amazingly well.
I have been using ES File explorer since I did my first Android device root about 5 years ago and it has been my goto method of searching my devices ever since. But, as anyone who has done this knows it is painfully slow.
Your app has finally changed that and I could not be more grateful.
Thank you for all of your work it is greatly appreciated!

FC while indexing
Fantastic idea. 'Everything' on the PC is so useful, and this is no different. I don't need it to be able to open or view a file, just find where it is, that's been the painfull part upto now.
I do however get PC's every time during indexing, once it gets to around 32K+ files.

Hi,
mine works in every application.
eg : you can open chrome,adobe reader,Office applications,Chat apps,etc
just open the application->click settings icon which enables the floating Icon->Open any other application which supports copying text (all app supports that) - > Copy the word you need to know about- > click on the floating icon and you will get the meaning.
Also XDictionary needs to root the device and install Xposed Module.But Mine DO NOT require ROOT.

Will try it later, I looked at XDictionary, but I don't want to install Xposed .

Xposed Module
Hello again,
This is My first time working with Xposed Module.I have tried to create a Xposed Module for this application.But I need someone to test the Xposed Module.I am attaching the apk file.please try it and report.I am not sure if it works.
I haven't uploaded this to playstore as it is not tested.
How To
open any application
select the word you want to get the meaning
and you can see the Paste | Define as the menus

Maybe you should rethink title and app name: Define - Offline Dictionary
As it is deceiving, since your app does search online, if only no match found
It would be great if you have a version which does not have network permissions and does not search online if no match found, which will make it a true offline dictionary.
Most offline dictionaries provide a separate dictionary file which you can download separately, which allows for custom dictionary sets(https://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/wiki/BuildDictionary),
and improvements to database without affecting app itself
Maybe look at: https://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/
It is open source.

I'm going to check it out, but for now look at this screenshot:

thanks
Whoops next thing to do

WOW.
This project is super awesome!
Probably a stupid question, but is the source code in pure HTML or are the HTML settings built over Java/etc.?
What license are you giving it/have you given it?
:good:
Also, is it possible to modify files in a preferred PC text editing program and put them on the device to test? I much prefer using my actual keyboard and the autocorrect on my phone is atrocious, hehe.

Well this is interesting... I see this project to be the next big thing on the xda-platform. Keep up the good work and stay blessed.

It looks pretty cool. Gonna try it out now. Thanks

Awesome concept but buggy app
I downloaded this app because it sounds awesome! However I found several faults
Couldn't change the background using the menu system
Couldn't change from celsius to fahrenheit
Once I changed one RSS feed I was unable to scroll down the list or open an item in the feed
Couldn't figure out how to edit files on PC. I tried to open apk and extract but couldn't find install path on my phone
Download button on homepage has spelling error. It says Donwload.
I think this program falls into Alpha mode. Call me when the bugs are fixed.

Help am not able to use this launcher as it's not showing in app drawer tab.. What to do? Please help.

Pressing your home key should trigger a new default actions menu. I'd make this a one time choice until you are happy with the application. If not you will have to go into your settings and clear the default action.

wow :laugh:
the best launcher ever and accrording to it real customizing of android .
there are millions of codes out there which are impossible to remember. can you provide a simple dictionary for it.

i haven't installed this yet, but couldn't you get some sort of... html guidebook? because i'm guessing the portions that can be edited are pure html.

Will it work on 4.2.2???

Why are you outputting the html codes to edit after converting variable elements? Just make templates for each page? It would be easier to edit and customize?
