Answer 1

To display all the playlist created by user in default music application in Android, I am using following block of code in my Activity:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         
    String[] proj = {"*"};
    Uri tempPlaylistURI = MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;

    // In the next line 'this' points to current Activity.
    // If you want to use the same code in other java file then activity,
    // then use an instance of any activity in place of 'this'.

    Cursor playListCursor= this.managedQuery(tempPlaylistURI, proj, null,null,null);

    if(playListCursor == null){
        System.out.println("Not having any Playlist on phone --------------");
        return;//don't have list on phone
    }

    System.gc();

    String playListName = null;

    System.out.println(">>>>>>>  CREATING AND DISPLAYING LIST OF ALL CREATED PLAYLIST  <<<<<<");

    for(int i = 0; i  " + i + "  : " + playListName );
    }

    if(playListCursor != null)
        playListCursor.close();

}

Don't forget to include these before using

import android.net.Uri;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.database.Cursor;

This code is Tested and working fine over target = android-8
