How to disable directory content indexing in Android?

Question

Android

A bunch of applications in Android constantly strive to index everything and everything. This is Google Music (and I would like to see in it only the music that I bought through it) and VLC (which I did not at all ask to hang out on the very "poster" porn hidden for every fireman in the depths of the file system) and much more more. What are the ways to deal with this? Maybe you can add some attribute to the directory or create some special hidden file in it that tells everyone that its contents should not be indexed? Although personally I would be happy to disable all indexing at the global level, I do not need it in principle.

Answer 1

You can try to create an empty file named ".nomedia" in the unintended directory for indexing.
