If you want to hide media items from your android gallery without using any suspicious applications,you can simply follow this tutorial.
.nomedia method:
- All you would need is a good file manager.I would personally suggest using x-plore its a very good file manager
- open xplore and create a new text file
- remove the .txt extension and create a bare file with ".nomedia"extension remember leave it name less,but just with an extension
- now when it opens the editor just put in a dot,nothing else and save the file
- And now which ever directory contains this file will not be indexed in your android gallery.you can copy it and use for multiple directories,leaving it in your root sd card mount will prevent any media from being read by your device.
- once you've created this file,you can use it to hide multiple directories or even all the media files from your sd card at a shot

in case you quickly want to hide a directory and don't have the above said .nomedia file,you can simply put a "." before the name of the directory and vola!its hidden from the gallery
