Media library

[trinode]

Hi,

On android there's a media scanner and music apps use this to list all the songs on the device, how can I access this data (I need read, but write would be nice too)?

I've found how to do it in java:-

Android - Accessing Data With Android Cursors - Android Tutorials

also, is it possible to force a re-scan of the SD card to re-index files?

many thanks!

This is not yet supported. It will be added soon.

Hi Erel,

is the feature to force a sd card re-scan implemented in the meantime?

Best regards,

Hi Anthony,
That is fairly easy to implement in a library, I have done it for the calendar provider and it is the exact same for the media just change the provider, all of the data is contained in sqlite date tables. What fields do you want access to.

You can force a rescan using Phone.SendBroadcastIntent. See this example: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/10200-saving-picture.html#post56686
