Hello,
I got little problem. I'm refreshing my sdcard using:

Code: Select all

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

and I would like to create ProgressDialog with a spinner which pops out at the start and after successful refresh to dismiss it, but I got no idea how to check that MediaScanner finished his job. I tried using BroadcastReciver and sendStickyOrderedBroadcast(...), but its seems it was wrong idea...
I can't use MediaScannerConnection and OnScanCompletedListener() because I don't have direct paths to the files (in some situations, it doesn't exist).
Does anyone have any idea how to solve my problem? I have run out of ideas :'(

Thanks in advance,
Stigi

Hi stigi,

I'm not sure what you are doing exactly. Are you just trying to determine if you sdcard is still mounted?

Trying to mount it after it has been removed?

I guess I don't know exactly what you mean by "refresh the sdcard".

Hoping to be of help.

Nope its not what I mean. When I'm using this:

Code: Select all

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

My sdcard is refreshed - by refresh i mean that all the new data that was copied np: mp3/photos etc will be seen in music software/gallery etc (when u copy mp3 from PC to sdcard while ur phone is ON, music software wont see this mp3, thats why I have to refresh sdcard).
When I'm using code i mentioned before, it sends info to my system that sdcard have to be refreshed, and now my problem is: how to check that system finished his job (I'm not sure, but i think that MediaScanner refreshes this data, i tried few things that might check if it finished refreshing, but it wasn't working...)

i hope it clarify my problem a bit I'm not native speaker and its kind of hard to explain it in english, sorry about that.
