Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

To hide a folder from the album you can create a file called ".nomedia" in that folder using a file manager or an app. Check this thread for more information: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1-Compact/nomedia-file-invalid/td-p/442323

actualy i no need to hide any file , my issue is in album i get appliaction images , such as images used for appliaction to work will be displayed , like button cursors and temp internet images are getting displayed in the album

Yes, Album will display all pictures on the phones memory. If you don't want to see pictures located in a certain folder you need to create a .nomedia file in that folder to hide the folder from Album and the media scanner in Android.

You need to download a file explorer(androzip,es file explorer)

I think this is the same problem that I've after updated my phone.

I've read that the problem is in mediascanner that it ignores .nomedia files. If you install a file explorer you can see if this .nomedia file are in your folders.

Hi,

This album issue is annoying.

It brings up all the images (small http pics or anything) in the phone when it is opened.

Why would anyone want to see the pics of his web history, or pics of some web apps?

Why do we have to add a .noname file anyway? should it be our concern?

I hope that you consider to update the app so that we can select the opening folder as "Camera". 

Best regards

Have to agree with this, it's stupid. Was never an issue on my Xperia S but got the Z1 Compact today and my album is full of random cached image files! WTH?

I see many ppl have the same problem with pictures showing in album with no sence. So I have this issue too. Hope someone smart enough will fix this,because I want to see only my photos in album an not all the mess from any other apps or browser history everytime I install something new or move pics to another folder (which of course have .nomedia in it). Of course I tried to put that noname file inside folder to hide it but it is not working! Dear Sony,please fix this coz my xperia z fail with your solution!
