Android: How to get audio detail from audio file

Question

I have my music app started from external applications using intent data as music file.

So I have the mp3 audio URI something like this

file:///storage/emulated/0/Music/Tamil/I%20(2014)/Ennodu%20Nee%20Irundhaal.mp3

how to get the audio details from URI ie, the Media.TITLE , Media.ALBUM , Media._ID

Answer 1

You can converto file URI to canonical path and get infomation of music file with ContentsProvider like below codes.

String path = new File(new URI(path).getPath()).getCanonicalPath();
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(
    MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
    new String[] {
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM,
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST,
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.TRACK,
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE,
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME,
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA,
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION,
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.YEAR
    },
    MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA + " = ?",
    new String[] {
            path
    },
    "");

if (null == c) {
    // ERROR
}

while (c.moveToNext()) {
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM));
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST));
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TRACK));
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE));
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME));
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA));
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION));
    c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.YEAR));
}
