[Q] copy+paste anything (text+pics+videos) in any android app? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there any (rooted) app that can achieve the above? because the Pulse app's "save to Evernote" feature doesn't save the full text, i usually have to highlight all manually and copy/paste to Evernote. Even so, the pictures/videos are not copied along in the clipboard.
i'd need an app that can copy anything it highlights, in any app (including apps like Facebook).
all suggestions welcome!

i'm talking about pics and videos embedded on websites or apps (like RSS readers) for the matter, not files per se.

Dropbox for Android

I have dropbox on my Phone and GT7510.
On my computer, i can make a folder that automatically uploads its contents to my Dropbox. Is there a way to make a folder like this on my phone and or tab? Or do I have to upload files one by one?
I see on the Market a paid app called "Sync Folder with Dropbox". Is this the app I need or is there a free way within the Dropbox app?

Does this mean the Dropbox app doesn't have this feature built in?
The app I mentioned is cheaper. Is there an advantage on this one?

Dropbox for Android has some significant limitations in which folders you can and cannot synchronize. RealSync gives you much more control. I like it much better. I don't have any experience with the other app, so I cannot speak to it.

One question though.
Can we revoke the access we gave to our Twitter and Facebook accounts after the free space got added? If we do so, will we lose the extra space we got?

Worked for me.
I tossed a bunch of jpeg images and a little over 4 gigs of mp4 video files into a folder within DCIM folder on an SD card and let dropbox sync it via their new autosync feature. Worked like a charm.

[Q] Gallery -

I've installed copilot on my asus prime and when i visit the gallery to view my pics it also shows pics from the copilot directory. Is there a way to remove this directory from the gallery, without actually deleting the pictures from the AP?
Thanks

Get the app called quickpic. It'll allow you to hide that folder from the gallery. Works great.

Yup, QuickPic is the way!
It's included in the ROM I use on my phone
Never any issues, tons of options, and no lag!
Why didn't you simply create a blank file and name it .Nomedia
Put that file in the directory where you don't want to see the graphics and job done... they no longer show up in gallery.

Sorry Dave but I just don't get it! Why hog your system with an additional App that may take resources, battery etc. when you can do this quite easily by simply creating an empty file.

It doesn't hog resources or battery any more than the manual method - arguably, it probably use less battery because it is going to perform this action quicker than most people could probably perform the same action manually - after all, to create the file, you'll have had to run an application of some sort!
Using Gallery Excluder, I can exclude multiple directories simply by checking a box - as opposed to manually cut and pasting a file into each directory, which would take substantially longer if I have a lot of directories I want to exclude from the gallery.
It is quicker and easier to use an app, which is why I use one, and why I bought a smartphone in the first place!

Dave

No Problem Dave.... you have your method which I respect as it clearly works great for you and I have mine which equally is my chosen method.
Cutting & Pasting may take a little longer than simply ticking boxes in an App but it didn't take me that long to complete something like 8 folders that required excluding and once they're done that is it, I do not have to concern myself with intervention of an app running/updating/etc.

[Q] How to hide some folders from the stock Gallery?

Just got my phone. I've inserted an SD card that has a lot of music, and each album has an image for the album cover.
The problem is that the stock Gallery app reconizes each album folder as a gallery. Is there a way to exclude a folder from the media scanner?
This could be done by creating a File with the name .nomedia in the folders you want to exclude.
The media scanner should then ignore those folders.
hi
Create a folder .nomedia (include the full stop at the beginning) and move required files inside. Reboot
Edit, see answered above while I was procrastinating.

Should you create a file or folder with the name .nomedia????????
I have the same problem and creating a file ".nomedia" is not a good solution...
I have like 250 albums, I should create one in every album folder?
Thank you all for answering.
@UpInTheAir, what do you mean by "(include the full stop at the beginning)"

It seems not to work anymore. When you create .nomedia files in the folders this will be ignored. What worked for S1 and S2 does not work on S3 (Android 4.0.4) any ideas?

QuickPic is hands-down, the BEST photo gallery on Android.
Download it, use it as your default, and never look back.

That worked, but i really don't want to rename every single image manually nor i want to write a piece of code to do that.
Just installed QuickPic and it not even showed such "album art" images! automatically detected and hidden.
Stock gallery still showing them (even after quickpic installed)
Is there a way to clear the media scan cache and start it again (manually)?

I did this but QuickPic doesn't have the option to include the Picasa/Google Images I have stored online.
the ".nomedia" file works. A reboot is needed though
Want to hide that private stash, right? "album art"

HTC stock gallery not showing imported pictures

I put several 1080P wallpapers into the camera directory, but none of them show up in the HTC stock gallery app.
But when I changed the files' names to the sequence which the camera app uses, and the pictures showed up.
I never used Sense nor any HTC products before, so I do not know if that is just how the app was designed or not. But it certainly is inconvenient.
So I would rather want to use the 4.2 gallery or the stock Android gallery...Is it safe to push that app through adb?
How did you get the pics on the phone? I had a similar issue, pics a download in the browser would show up in the gallery but the pics that I unzipped from my drop box would not show up. I cleared data for gallery, wiped caches and they still wouldn't show up. I had to do a factory reset for the unzipped pics to show up in the gallery. This was after unlocking/rooting. Don't know if I would've had the same issues stock but didn't try it before unlocking.

In the camera folder it probably only looks for the names that the camera uses, which would make sense. Put them in a different folder.

I have Root Explorer which does the same, but it does not show up on the selections for choosing a wallpaper. However, Root Explorer and other third party media apps do show up on my Galaxy S3...I guess Sense limits the use of the third party alternatives.

That's weird. I can see them with my Incredible. Why would they take that feature out?
Edit: are you sure you aren't in the camera section of the gallery already? You can't use back to see folders or find a way to bring up a menu? If you have facebook set up, you should be able to access facebook photos from the gallery as well (unless they also took this away). If you can't see anything but camera shots, there's probably a menu you aren't finding...

I guess HTC wanted people to use their stock apps exclusively.
There is only one album named 'My Phone', which contains the pictures taken by the camera and screenshot, but not imported pictures anywhere in the SD storage
Yep, my phone picks and chooses which photos in the download folder it will show. If I import from Box, it won't show but if I import from Dropbox, it will... Annoying and weird.

I was having the same issue. except i keep all my wallpaper images in the zedge\wallpaper folder so that my wallpaper changer has one directory to pull from. when i transferred them from my old phone's SD card to the DNA they showed up but then when i went to add some more images they would not show up since the gallery doesn't automatically rescan to find new photos when it opens.
i did download the Gallery Refresh app as stated above and it worked perfectly in making the gallery rescan the storage for new images. Thanks CISGS. much appreciated

Gallery replacement that allows you to hide certain folders?

The Gallery app that comes with my S III shows all sorts of "junk" folders that are created by apps (e.g. Re-Volt creates a "LOADING" folder with images, another app has created a "cache" folder etc.).
Is there a Gallery replacement that allows you to hide certain folders?
I think QuickPic allows this. Any more?

I'm pretty sure that hides things by moving them. If they're folders generated by other apps then that would be a bad idea.
My advice would be to use a file explorer (ES, Root Explorer etc.) and create a file called ".nomedia" in each folder. That tells the system to ignore that folder in media searches, but if the gallery apps you use parse the folders themselves then it probably won't work. I've had mixed success with that, but it works for stock gallery apps.
simply rename the folder to .foldername(suppose the name is foldername). the app would simply skip the folder.
you dont need a special app for this.

That's because you're probably only capable of keeping images (photos & downloads etc.) in 1 folder so it doesn't parse the rest of the space for more
