    Rescan storage media like SD cards for changes. <i>SD Scanner</i> uses a method

    compatible with 4.4 KitKat and 5.0 Lollipop.

    In Android 4.4 KitKat, the method used by most older programs to rescan a

    storage medium no longer works. Instead, an interface must be used that only

    allows one file to be specified at a time. This app works by determining what

    files/folders might need to be scanned again, and then by calling the correct

    API on each file/folder.

    SD Scanner can be used with Tasker by using the "Send Intent" action listed

    under "System." Use the following settings, leaving the ones I don't list at the

    default:

    * Action: android.intent.action.RUN

    * Package: com.gmail.jerickson314.sdscanner

    * Class: com.gmail.jerickson314.sdscanner.MainActivity

    * Target: Activity
