    In a folder where you store images, music, etc… create blank file named .nomedia, and the folder itself name with . in the beginning, so it will look like this

    /sdcard
    /sdcard/.myfolder
    /sdcard/.myfolder/.nomedia
    /sdcard/.myfolder/my_mp3
    /sdcard/.myfolder/my_avi
    /sdcard/.myfolder/my_mp4
    /sdcard/.myfolder/my_jpg
    /sdcard/.myfolder/my_png
    

    This will hide the folder from common file managers, and prevent scanning it to music library, gallery, etc..
