Re: [android-developers] how to recursively search for media(mp3) files in sdcard
Thanks for your quick reply Mark. I tried to search on "how to use Mediastore" and found one similar item here @ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6208315/in-android-how-do-i-query-mediastore-only-for-files-in-a-specific-path-or-alter Would appreciate, if you could point me to some working sample code.

This has already been done by the OS. Query the MediaStore content provider to find MP3 files available to the user on external storage. This also will handle situations where there are files that should not be in a music player (e.g., audiobook files). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] how to recursively search for media(mp3) files in sdcard
Hi All, This is related to a sample media player I'm write as part of learning more of Android. For this, I'm trying to write some simple method to recursively crawl the sdcard in all foders and create a list of all mp3 files, which I can make use of later for playing the same. I tried google to find some efficient way to do the same, but found that most of them are suggesting having your own recursive method to the same. I also bumped into this URL @ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3289649/recursively-add-files-in-java-speed-issue but don't know how to use the idea presented therein in a efficient wayy. Would appreciate if someone could help me getting this. Any working example for the same would be very helpful. Thank you.
