Android MediaStore insertVideo

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 supported by MediaStore Whenever you delete a file, let MediaStore Content Provider knows about it using getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null)

MediaStore – Uri to query all types of files (media and non-media)

It is “external” or “internal” although internal (system files) is probably not useful here. ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver(); Uri uri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri(“external”); // every column, although that is huge waste, you probably need // BaseColumns.DATA (the path) only. String[] projection = null; // exclude media files, they would be here also. String selection = MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE … Read more
