I got it figured out. Maybe not the best way but here's how to access
the audio media in the media store:
private List<String> songs = new ArrayList<String>();
public void updateSongList() {
//Lets get the music from the DB so we have metadata
Uri media = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = { // The columns we
want
MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID, // 0
MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, // 1
MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE, // 2
MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA, // 3
MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME,// 4
MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION}; // 5
String selection = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + " != 0";
cursor = this.managedQuery(media,
projection,
selection,
null,
null);
while(cursor.moveToNext()){
songs.add(cursor.getString(0) + "||" +
cursor.getString(1) + "||" +
cursor.getString(2) + "||" +
cursor.getString(3) + "||" +
cursor.getString(4) + "||" +
cursor.getString(5));
}
}
I'm not really using any listviews or adapters but you could easily
hook one up. I just happen to be using a List that will never be
touched by the user.
