Let me clarify the code, the post from last night was in sheer
exhaustion after having looked at it for hours on end.
Now, I have the mediascanner invoked from inside a thread to pick up
the new metadata and art that has been written to the file
Thread thread = new Thread()
{
@Override
public void run() {
List<String>
mTrackUris = getListOfChangedFiles();
if
(mTrackUris != null && !mTrackUris.isEmpty()) {
final Iterator iter = mTrackUris.iterator();
SingleMediaScanner singleFileScanner = new
SingleMediaScanner(FetchResultDetailActivity.this,
mTrackUris.size());
while(iter.hasNext()) {
final String track = (String) iter.next();
if (track != null) {
if (Consts.DEBUG) {
Log.i(TAG, String.format("Kicking the mediascanner for
track: %s", track));
}
//
This clears off the entry out of the audio_meta, albums and album_art
tables. This is expected, so that is good
int
rowsUpdated =
getContentResolver().delete(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
"_data = '" + track + "'", null);
singleFileScanner.setFilepath(track);
singleFileScanner.startScan();
}
}
}
And, this is my mediascanner class
private class SingleMediaScanner implements
MediaScannerConnectionClient {
private MediaScannerConnection mMediaScanner;
private String mFilepath;
private int mNumFilesToScan;
public SingleMediaScanner(Context context, int numFilesToScan) {
mNumFilesToScan = numFilesToScan;
mMediaScanner = new MediaScannerConnection(context, this);
}
@Override
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
if (Consts.DEBUG) {
Log.i(TAG, String.format("Scan starting for:
%s", mFilepath));
}
mMediaScanner.scanFile(mFilepath, null);
}
@Override
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
if (Consts.DEBUG) {
Log.i(TAG, String.format("Scan finished for:
%s, uri: %s", path,
uri.toString()));
}
mMediaScanner.disconnect();
if (--mNumFilesToScan == 0) {
h.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(SAVE_ART2, 10);
}
}
public void startScan() {
mMediaScanner.connect();
}
/**
* @param mFilepath the mFilepath to set
*/
public void setFilepath(String filepath) {
this.mFilepath = filepath;
}
}
Hopefully this is a lot clearer than the earlier post, please share
any ideas you have.
After the scanner runs, if I pull the database file from the phone out
and view it, only the "audio_meta" entry seems recreated, the albums
and album_art entries are not.
Thanks !
