Android App of the Week: SDRescan


I am running out of Android apps I actually use to feature here. This one is pretty boring, but can be useful.

Did you ever add pictures, music, ringtones or sounds to your SD card and have it not show up in the Gallery, ringtone list or media player? Happens all the time. The phone needs to add them to the database, which usually only happens on reboot. But let’s face it: it takes forever to reboot.

So SDRescan! Run it after you add stuff to your card and bam, your media will now show up without rebooting.
