Answer 1

i solved it using download manager easily.

just download empty file from web.

this is my sample code

val downloadManager = context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE) as DownloadManager
val request = DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse("https://www.example.com/.nomedia"))
        .setTitle(".nomedia")
        .setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM, "/test/.nomedia") 
        .setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI or DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE)
        .setAllowedOverMetered(true) 
        .setAllowedOverRoaming(false)
downloadManager.enqueue(request)
