Toggle Show memes in system gallery

[gsantner]

Resolving this should toggle the visiblity of memes in the android system galleries (MediaScanner). For this you have to add (on creation), delete (on deletion) the meme from the system media database.

Additionally there should be an toggle provided in the Settings (SettingsActivity, preferences.xml) that in general toggles (enables/disables) this. Enabling means the deletion of %SAVEPATH%/memes/.nomedia and the addition of all current and future files in there. Deletion means creation of nomedia file and the removal of all items from the system media database.

Attention: This is ONLY about the media database. You must not delete any pictures here.

Hi, I am interesting in working on this issue.

I would like to clarify: Do you mean a toggle in settings is required, and this toggle toggles the visibility of the created memes in the system gallery, while showing them as normal within the application?

[gsantner]

Yes, the visibility of images inside MemeTastic is not affected in any means by this. This should really only control the visibility on normal android gallery apps

Okay, thanks. I'll work on it.

Hi @gsantner, please take a look at the pull request I've made, thank you.

[gsantner]

the PR doesnt contain any calls to update/add/delete index entries there. Your way the gallery will do a rescan at an ranfom time.

I have created another pull request that rectifies this issue.
