mediastore

I've got an activity where a viewflipper shows a list containing the artists from mediastore, which onitem click display a list of albums by the chosen artist, which in turn displays the songs on that album. Once a song is clicked, it should populate a textview with the string 'title'. Until this point, all of the cursors are working fine, but the very last one seems to get put out of position somehow. Could anyone tell me why logcat is telling me: 05-07 23:58:54.195: E/AndroidRuntime(1961): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Couldn't read row 3, col -1 from CursorWindow. Make sure the Cursor is

So our app has the option to take either a picture or a video. If the user takes a picture, we can use the MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage function to add the new image (via a filepath) to the phone's gallery and generate a content:// style URI. Is there a similar process for a captured video, given that we only have it's filepath? Here is an easy 'single file based solution': Whenever you add a file, let MediaStore Content Provider knows about it using sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(imageAdded))); Main advantage: work with any mime type

I have big problems with MediaStore. I need to handle events when MediaStore is changed over MTP. I already have a receiver for android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_FINISHED action, but it is useful only for Universal Mass Storage(UMS). The scanner is not launched over MTP, because the MTP changes the MediaStore database directly. Please would you be so kind and help me how to detect this events. Thank you very much for any help! I finally found a solution. I tried to use FileObserver but when you use it for all directories...it is quite memory consuming. So now I am using ContentObserver and

I am working to change ID3 tags, the metadata in audio files, such as: Artist Title Album etc. And the core point,. that edited ID3 tags should be shown only into my app. MKJParekh I think this is what you are looking for MyID3 library to set and get tags for media file. Download this jar file MyID3_for_android and add it to your project's build path. here is the sample code. here pathdata is the file path of the audio file. File src = new File(pathdata); MusicMetadataSet src_set = null; try { src_set = new MyID3().read(src); } catch (IOException e1) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e1

My goal is to set the users notification sound from a file that is stored onto the SD card from with in the application. I am using this code: if(path != null){ File k = new File(path, "moment.mp3"); ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, k.getAbsolutePath()); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "My Song title"); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, 215454); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3"); values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, "Some Artist"); values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION, 230); values.put
