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

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

It's curious, I tried the solution of this thread in a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a SE Xperia Arc S. In SE perfect but in Galaxy it didn't update media. Only worked with the intent and its corresponding toast :( – jbc25 Oct 21 '12 at 12:50

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)));
