Need help

I use android, so i follow the step "How to Play on Android" But every photo and video is carried over to my gallery. 

is there a way to extract it without bring photo or videos to my gallery?

You need to create a .nomedia file inside each folder with images.

Runey, can you please ship the 0.13 with these files included? Low end devices spend hours indexing the image folders.

This is the first time I've heard about this. Can you point me in the direction of more information?

Creating an empty file named ".nomedia" inside a folder with any media files (audio, image, video) tells to the Android media apps (Gallery, Video Player, Music Player) to ignore that folder.

It's hard to create/copy a .nomedia file using the Android itself, because you can't see (and copy) it in most file managers.

Every time i need to install a new copy of the game i have to use my Windows PC to extract, create the .nomedia files and copy to my android tablet. I tried other ways, but Windows Explorer spends 20 minutes just to index files and allow me to open the images folder for example.

In short: I only spend close to an hour creating these files inside each folder with media files (images, v11, v12).

I hope you understand, english is not my native language.

Hey, thanks for advice, will try it fast

I believe it is an issue on Samsung's only, as they created their own gallery code. My Pixel 5 for instance does not have this issue because the native Google Photos system allows the user to decide what folders are and are not added to the native Android gallery database.
