Termux moving files

After moving files using termux mv command, the update doesn't necessary propagated to Gallery application as shown bellow. 


To update it, run this command line:

am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE -d /sdcard/path

It will  fix the Gallery app file list problem.

Side note: I am noticing weird behaviour, the developer page states that this intent is deprecated as of  API level 29 (Android 10), but the intent is well broadcast and act upon.

Android Text File Editor

Sometimes you just got lucky finding a good text editor on android by entering the winning search term, in this case it's: "text editor android".

I decided to use Turbo Editor, instead of QuickEdit Text Editor (which is a good text editor too), since I can search for a file in a crowded directory on before I open it on Turbo Editor.
