mediastore

I am making an application which lists all the songs on the device onto the screen and clicking on them opens a sharing intent where the songs / audio file can be shared across various devices through different method like Bluetooth, WhatsApp etc. But I am not able to get the file path or location of the audio file from the mediastore. This is how I am getting my songs- public void getSongList() { //retrieve song info ContentResolver musicResolver = getActivity().getContentResolver(); Uri musicUri = android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; Cursor musicCursor =

I'm working on a "photo gallery"-type app for Android. It started as a Final Project for the Developing Android Apps at Udacity, so it's overall structure (activities, contentproviders etc) should be very sound, and it was accepted for certification by Udacity/Google. However, it's still not 100% finished, and I'm still trying to improve on it. What I want to do should really be quite straight-forward; load all images on device (as thumbnails) into a GridView in the MainActivity, with a DetailActivity which shows the full size image + some meta data (title, size, date etc). The course required

I have a recycler view within a fragment and basically I m trying to load song list in the recycler view .Each row of recycler view contains an imageview (for album art) and textview ( for song name). I am having trouble when the size of the dataset is huge, that is when there are too many songs, the recycler view lags and the app ends up giving an ANR.I am using Glide to load album arts in each row's imageview. How is google music player able to show such large number of songs without any lag? Edit: This is my SongsFragment public class SongsFragment extends Fragment { static {

My question is two part, how can I get the following code to access this location: "/storage/emulated/0/Movies/SpecificFolder" Code: private Uri getUriFromMediaStore(int position) { int dataIndex = mMediaStoreCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA); mMediaStoreCursor.moveToPosition(position); String dataString = mMediaStoreCursor.getString(dataIndex); Uri mediaUri = Uri.parse("file://" + dataString); return mediaUri; } and, when the time comes how can I access videos/files from an online server? I have tried the following: mediaCursor = getContentResolver().query( MediaStore

I am trying to get the path of the video file for a video thumbnail. I'm not sure why it is still coming as null after I modified based on some solutions here. The version of android is 6.0.1. The user clicks the floating action button and summons a gallery of videos. FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.addNote); fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("video/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,

I'd like to specify a destination folder when I call the MediaStore built-in sound recorder app, e.g. the sdcard folder. According to the Android documentation , there is no support for EXTRA_OUTPUT when calling the RECORD_SOUND_ACTION . How can I do this? You will have to allow the file to be recorded using whatever default filename and location are used and then move the file. Moving the file is far from trivial. Here's a complete example. import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.database.Cursor; import
