Populate listview with video files on KitKat

Question

I hope somebody can help me.

I display on my app all the recorded video files located on the sd card through a listView. But this doesn't work with the Api 19 (kitkat).My code is this:

String selection = MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA + " like?";      
String[] selectionArgs = new String[]{"%"+ VideoRoute + "%"};  
videocursor =    activity.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,proj, selection, selectionArgs, MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_TAKEN + "DESC");  
count = videocursor.getCount();

while (videocursor.moveToNext()){    
    ...      
Bitmap bmThumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(video.getUrlMedia(), Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND);       
...   
}

Does anyone know how to achieve this with Android KitKat?

Thanks in advance.

I'll post my own answer, in case someone needs help like me with this issue, what worked for me:

//with videoList fill de listView
videoList = getFilesKitkat();

---

public List<Video> getFilesKitkat(){
    int i = 0;
    list.clear();//list is global

    //App package directory in the sd card to get all the files,
    // in my case, there is only mp4 files.
    // /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/<package_name>/files...
    File targetDirector = new File (videosPath);

    File[] files = targetDirector.listFiles();
    int totalFiles = files.length;
    String[] filesToScan = new String[totalFiles];

    //this is to get all the paths in order to pass them to MediaScannerConnection
    for (File file : files){    
        filesToScan[i] = file.getAbsolutePath();
        i++;
    }
    callMediaScanner_kitkat(filesToScan);

    return list;
}

public void callMediaScanner_kitkat(final String[] files) {
    MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(context, files, null, 
            new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Log.i("Test", "Scanned " + path);
            getVideosList_kitkat(context, uri);
        }
    });
}

public void getVideosList_kitkat(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
      Cursor cursor = null;
      try { 
          String[] proj = { MediaStore.Video.Media._ID,
                MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA,
                MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME,
                MediaStore.Video.Media.SIZE, 
                MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE,
                MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_MODIFIED};
        cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,  proj, null, null, null);

        while (cursor.moveToNext()){
              Video video = new Video();

              int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
              int id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.Media._ID));
              String nombre = (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE))).toLowerCase();
              video.setName(nombre + XSalesApplication.getActivityContext().getResources().getString(R.string.video_extension));
              video.setId(cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media._ID)));
              video.setSize(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.SIZE)));
              video.setUrlMedia(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA)));      video.setlastModified(cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_MODIFIED)));

              Bitmap bmThumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(video.getUrlMedia(), Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND);
              video.setPhotoBitmap(bmThumbnail);

              list.add(video);
        }

      } finally {
        if (cursor != null) {
          cursor.close();
        }
      }
    }
