Description

This application can be used to rename ALL the images and clips files taken by the camera.
Read carefully all description!
Renamed and moved files process cannot be rolled back! Use this software with caution!
The application do not store the old names because will cause conflicts: the default camera application use a counter which is reset each time when files are removed/renamed. As a workaround can be selected the option "Append original name".
If you have issues, try to reinstall the application.

I developed this application for an oldest phone, for KitKat and Lollipop I use Android Emulator so I can not test the application on real devices due to costs.

KitKat advice
Application can rename files stored on internal memory only! The application do not have access on SD card files by default.
Read paragraph: "What changed after KitKat?" from http://goo.gl/0xr7qI

Lollipop advice
Please uninstall and reinstall the application!
As on KitKat case, the application can rename files from internal memory. For external memory should be enabled the "Rename within a folder" and should be selected which folder are used by your camera app to save files. For consistency please select also folders from internal memory.
If you have issues on Lollipop, select only DCIM folder and not the subfolder, like 100ANDRO, make a selection only like: SD Card/DCIM

Android 7 (Nougat ) advice
Set the rename service trigger to "Media content observer" to have files automatically renamed if the service is not triggered when the camera events it is selected.

Description
I made this application to rename pictures and clips from my phone Sony Xperia V automatically based on date and time of file, from DSC_0001.JPG or MOV_0001.mp4 to 20150414_213616.JPG or 20150414_090523.mp4.

Rename file using the date and time:
- when the file was added to the media provider;
- when the file was last modified;
- ONLY for the pictures can be used EXIF info, clips do not have support for it.

The user can limit the rename process within some desired folders, including the subfolders, using the option: "Rename within a folder".

The file rename format use Java date and time formats:
- yyyy for years;
- MM for month;
- dd for day;
- HH for hour;
- mm for minutes;
- ss for seconds;
- SSS for milliseconds.
See more format information: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Unfortunately due to EXIF specifications and Android file name date time the milliseconds are not used internally.

Define file name patterns individually for pictures or clips. Wildcards * or ? can be used too, the pattern matching is not case sensitive so can be used lower or upper case or combined, the result will be the same.
Do not use too generics pattern like *.JPG to avoid infinite renaming looping.

The rename service, if is enabled, automatically is triggered when the image or movie file is saved on the device media storage using two ways:
1. events send by the camera, but the camera application must send com.android.camera.NEW_PICTURE or android.hardware.action.NEW_PICTURE, otherwise, the rename service is not triggered.
2. events send by the Media content changes, this imply a service which observ all changes on the media content.

I made this application for my own proposes and I want to share with other users.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★No use app
3 ★Worked once after I installed when phone was relatively new. Since then does nothing, even after confirming directory paths and file name patterns. Either auto or manual, it just doesn't see files that are right there.
5 ★Love this app. The auto doesn't really work, but with 1 push of the button it works. Even though this phone doesn't need it because it uses the date and timestamp already but I use it anyway to change the order and to add something. Please can you make an iPhone and iPad version????????
5 ★Brilliant app. Used it on Sony, now I need some help to set it up for Pixel. Thanks
5 ★Had some issues with it when my Xperia 1 updated to Android 11, but an uninstall and reinstall fixed the issue.
1 ★please fix it for Android 11, i am unable to rename any files. it was working fine in Android 10 EDIT: FOR THOSE WHO UPDATED TO ANDROID 11 you can use the alternative "PM Rename" for now. Its not as good but at least its functional for the time.
3 ★Doesn't work on Xperia 5 II after recent patches, otherwise flawless app until then!
5 ★Lifesaver
4 ★可惜,最近手機系統更新後就失效了
4 ★Great app, but it doesn't work anymore after the latest update (Build number 55.2.A.2.66) on Xperia 1. Worked great, but not anymore. Please 🙏 fix it.
