List all music in MediaStore with the PATHs

Question

Ok so I\'ve been working on this project for a few days now and most of my time has been working out how to list all the music on a device in a LIST VIEW or something else,

Answer 1

I'm working on same project right now and already solved the problem.

You will need a custom class to store your songs data:

package YOUR_PACKAGE;

public class Songs
{
    private long mSongID;
    private String mSongTitle;

    public Songs(long id, String title){
        mSongID = id;
        mSongTitle = title;
    }

    public long getSongID(){
        return mSongID;
    }

    public String getSongTitle(){
        return mSongTitle;
    }
}

Then you have to define ArrayList in activity with List View which you will populate with data:

private ArrayList arrayList;

and in onCreate:

arrayList = new ArrayList();

Then you have to retrieve data from your device:

public void YOUR_METHOD_NAME(){
    ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
    Uri songUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
    Cursor songCursor = contentResolver.query(songUri, null, null, null, null);

    if(songCursor != null && songCursor.moveToFirst())
    {
        int songId = songCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID);
        int songTitle = songCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE);

        do {
            long currentId = songCursor.getLong(songId);
            String currentTitle = songCursor.getString(songTitle);
            arrayList.add(new Songs(currentId, currentTitle, currentArtist));
        } while(songCursor.moveToNext());
    }
}

Then call this method from onCreate:

YOUR_METHOD_NAME();

And finally you have to create custom adapter class, define this adapter in onCreate (in activity with ListView) and set this adapter on your ListView object.

I see that it was asked 3 years ago and the problem I think already solved, but maybe it will be usefull for someone. Thanks.
