Android videos from a custom folder are not returned by cursor. just 0 rows returned

Question

For some reason my cursor in android will not return any video files that are in the folder I'm searching through. If I do minor changes to the code and search for Images instead. The cursor returns all images correctly, so only when I try searching for the videos the issue appears. Result is count = 0, even though there are several videos in the folder.

I would be greatful for any help I can get.

This is the code snippet I'm using:

...
String[] columns = { MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA };
String uri = MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA;
path = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MOVIES),
         "MyCameraApp");
String condition = uri + " like '%" + path.toString() + "%'";

cursor = getContentResolver().query(
            MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
            columns,
            condition,
            null //selection args,
            null //orderBy);

count = cursor.getCount();
...
