Stuffs You're Gonna Need: A working android device. A File Manager (default). Few fingers to work with. A Goat (optional). F irst of all switch on your phone and unlock it . N ow open your file manager. For this tutorial, I'm using the default file manager of Galaxy Y. N ext go to your file manager settings and look for the term, Show Hidden Files/Folders . And enable/mark it as shown in the figure below. Then save your settings. N ow rename the existing folder you want to hide or create a new one. While renaming the folder just add an extra dot (.) right before all the characters. And save it. Refer to the following screenshot for better understanding. A fter that go to the file manager settings again and disable/unmark Show Hidden Files/Folders option. You're all done. The files at the folder will not be viewable at Gallery.
