How to save video to gallery using mediaStore.Video android?

public String getVideoFilePath() {
return Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MOVIES).getAbsolutePath() + "/" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "compress.mp4";
}
public static void exportMp4ToGallery(Context context, String filePath) {
File file = new File(filePath);
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(context, new String[]{file.toString()}, null, null);
}
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="29"/>
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
Currently, I'm using the above approach. getVideoFilePath() will return a path to the compressor class after compression is successful it will call exportMp4ToGallery(Context context, String filePath).
Is it a good approach? or Should I use MediaStore.video. But I want to know how to do the same with mediaStore.Video. Please help if you know, please provide a code snnipet.
EDIT ANOTHER APPROACH IS:
private String getFileName() {
String path = getExternalFilesDir("TrimmedVideo").getPath();
Calendar calender = Calendar.getInstance();
String fileDateTime = calender.get(Calendar.YEAR) + "_" +
calender.get(Calendar.MONTH) + "_" +
calender.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "_" +
calender.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + "_" +
calender.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + "_" +
calender.get(Calendar.SECOND);
String fName = "trimmed_video_";
File newFile = new File(path + File.separator +
(fName) + fileDateTime + "." + TrimmerUtils.getFileExtension(this, uri));
return String.valueOf(newFile);
}
This above code will give the compressor class a path to save it in app external directory and then copy that file to gallery using MediaStore like below:
public Uri addVideo(String videoFilePath) {
Uri uriSavedVideo;
File createdvideo = null;
ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
String videoFileName = "video_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".mp4";
ContentValues valuesvideos;
valuesvideos = new ContentValues();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 29) {
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.RELATIVE_PATH, "Movies/" + "Folder");
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE, videoFileName);
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, videoFileName);
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, "video/mp4");
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_ADDED, System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000);
Uri collection = MediaStore.Video.Media.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL_PRIMARY);
uriSavedVideo = resolver.insert(collection, valuesvideos);
} else {
String directory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + Environment.DIRECTORY_MOVIES + "/" + "YourFolder";
createdvideo = new File(directory, videoFileName);
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE, videoFileName);
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, videoFileName);
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, "video/mp4");
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_ADDED, System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000);
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, createdvideo.getAbsolutePath());
uriSavedVideo = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, valuesvideos);
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 29) {
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_TAKEN, System.currentTimeMillis());
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.IS_PENDING, 1);
}
ParcelFileDescriptor pfd;
try {
pfd = getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uriSavedVideo, "w");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(pfd.getFileDescriptor());
File videoFile = new File(videoFilePath);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(videoFile);
byte[] buf = new byte[8192];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
out.close();
in.close();
pfd.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 29) {
valuesvideos.clear();
valuesvideos.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.IS_PENDING, 0);
getContentResolver().update(uriSavedVideo, valuesvideos, null, null);
}
return uriSavedVideo;
}

Android MediaStore - store zip file and open as File

Good Morning,
I have a problem with MediaStore on Android 11. I have to download .zip file, then open it and get file uri and path.
This is code for saving file and works correctly. I can find the file.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
imageCollection = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL_PRIMARY);
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, fileName);
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "application/zip");
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, lengthOfFile);
Uri uri = context.getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external"), contentValues);
OutputStream outputStream = context.getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream(), 8192);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lengthOfFile));
outputStream.write(data, 0, count);
}
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
input.close();
}
But I cannot open this file later.
val collection = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external")
} else {
MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
}
val projection = arrayOf(
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.RELATIVE_PATH,
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DISPLAY_NAME,
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.SIZE,
MediaStore.Files.FileColumns._ID
)
val cursor = requireContext().contentResolver.query(collection, projection, null, null, null)
if (cursor!!.getCount() == 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "No file")
} else {
val idColumn=cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns._ID)
val nameColumn = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME)
val pathColumn = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH)
while (cursor!!.moveToNext()) {
val id = cursor.getLong(idColumn)
val name = cursor.getString(nameColumn)
val path = cursor.getString(pathColumn)
if (name == "2.1.2.zip") {
val contentUri: Uri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external")
val file= File("content://media/external/file/2.1.2.zip")
if (file.exists()) {
Log.d(TAG, "File not exist")
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "Error")
}
path value return: Download/
name value return: 2.1.2.zip
MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external"): content://media/external/file
Have any one idea how get access to this file? I try a lot of different way to get file but always get "File not exist".

How can I set a music from the software raw folder as the default alarm song?

I use the following code to save a music and select it as alarm music, but it does not work. where is the problem from?
(Files are saved but not selected as ringtone)
holder.btn_alarm.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int resId = getMusicId(position, ringTonesDao);
File file = saveMusic(resId);
setForAlarm(file);
}
});
This code receives the music ID in the software.
public int getMusicId(int position, RingTonesDao ringTonesDao) {
long id = ringTonesList.get(position).getId();
String musicAddress = ringTonesDao.checkMusicAddress(id);
int resId = context.getResources().getIdentifier(musicAddress, "raw", context.getPackageName());
return resId;
}
This code, after receiving the music ID, saves it in the internal memory of the mobile and returns the saved file as the output of the method.
public File saveMusic(int resId) {
File dir;
String folderName = "Ringtones";
if (Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), folderName);
} else {
dir = context.getCacheDir();
}
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(dir, resId + ".mp3");
if (!file.exists()) {
try {
file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(context, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
try {
InputStream inputStream = context.getResources().openRawResource(resId);
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
inputStream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(context, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
return file;
}
This code receives the file and sets it as an alert song.
public void setForAlarm(File file) {
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, file.getAbsolutePath());
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "alarm" + file.getName());
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, file.length());
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, R.string.app_name);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION, 230);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, false);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, false);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false);
Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(file.getAbsolutePath());
Uri newUri = context.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);
String[] columns = {MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA,
MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID,
MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM
};
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns, MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA + " = '" + file.getAbsolutePath() + "'", null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
int idColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID);
int fileColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
int ringtoneColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String audioFilePath = cursor.getString(fileColumn);
if (cursor.getString(ringtoneColumn) != null && cursor.getString(ringtoneColumn).equals("1")) {
Uri hasUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(audioFilePath);
newUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(hasUri, cursor.getString(idColumn));
}
}
cursor.close();
}
RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(context, RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM, newUri);
}

How to save video using mediastore api in Android Q and above? (Video is in Internal/External Storage)

After the restrictions introduced in Android 10 and 11, I am finding it difficult to fetch a video in Internal / External Storage and copy into app specific directory, then use it(Permission Denied Error is thrown). For the image, I implemented the below:
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
Bitmap bm = testObj.getScaledBitmap(bitmap);//used own method
Uri uriimg = testObj.storeImage(internalPath + imageName, bm);//used own method
I am unable to do the same for video.
Could you please provide the code for fetching video using Mediastore api and store in app specific directory or provide mediastore api video fetch example?
I also appreciate very much if i can get scopedstorage usage example using JAVA, because most examples i found are using Kotlin only.
Code:
After file picked on activity result, then check if its video, then
File file = new File(getPath(ProductFlipperActivity.this,uri));
getPath method:
public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) {
final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;
Log.i("URI", uri + "");
String result = uri + "";
// DocumentProvider
// if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
if (isKitKat && (result.contains("media.documents"))) {
String[] ary = result.split("/");
int length = ary.length;
String imgary = ary[length - 1];
final String[] dat = imgary.split("%3A");
final String docId = dat[1];
final String type = dat[0];
Uri contentUri = null;
if ("image".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("video".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("audio".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
}
final String selection = "_id=?";
final String[] selectionArgs = new String[]{
dat[1]
};
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs);
} else if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null);
}
// File
else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return uri.getPath();
}
return null;
}
getDataColumn method():
public static String getDataColumn(Context context, Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs) {
Cursor cursor = null;
final String column = "_data";
final String[] projection = {
column
};
try {
if (checkPermissionREAD_EXTERNAL_STORAGE(context)) {
// do your stuff..
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
final int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
return null;
}
Get the file name and use storepdf method
String videoName = file.getName();
testObj.storePDF(internalPath + videoName, file);
storepdf method to save file in app specific directory:
//store pdf to sdcard
public Uri storePDF(String path, File file) {
Uri uri = null;
FileInputStream in = null;
FileOutputStream out = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(file);
String newFileName = path;
out = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
return Uri.fromFile(file);
}
After using uri to save file and when i open inputstream to the real file path or uri, both throw error:
File file = new File(String.valueOf(uri));
//File file = new File(getPath(ProductFlipperActivity.this,uri));
String videoName = file.getName();
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(internalPath + videoName));
// Copy the bits from instream to outstream
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
in.close();
out.close();
Error Resolved by using the following code suggested by #blackapps:
File file = new File(getPath(ProductFlipperActivity.this,uri));
String videoName = file.getName();
InputStream in = this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
OutputStream out = this.getContentResolver().openOutputStream((Uri.fromFile(new File(internalPath + videoName))));
// Copy the bits from instream to outstream
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
out.flush();
out.close();

API level 29 Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT returning wrong id from downloads folder

I am trying to find the full file path for an URI returned from file picker intent. I have downloaded an image from internet which was saved in the browser default download folder. The problem is the id returned by DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(content_describer) is like "msf:254" instead of Long type id generally returned. The code is as following
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 101 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri content_describer = data.getData();

Any idea what is msf? I have seen image, video, audo but noticed msf for first time.

When you get "msf:xxx" in URI, use below solution:
if (id != null && id.startsWith("msf:")) {
final File file = new File(mContext.getCacheDir(), Constant.TEMP_FILE + Objects.requireNonNull(mContext.getContentResolver().getType(imageUri)).split("/")[1]);
try (final InputStream inputStream = mContext.getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri); OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
final byte[] buffer = new byte[4 * 1024]; // or other buffer size
int read;
while ((read = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
output.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
output.flush();
return file;
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
I have fixed this issue and it's working 100% for msf. :)
Also Delete the temp file after the completion of your work:
private void deleteTempFile() {
final File[] files = requireContext().getCacheDir().listFiles();
if (files != null) {
for (final File file : files) {
if (file.getName().contains(Constant.TEMP_FILE)) {
file.delete();
}
}
}
}
Here TEMP_FILE value is "temp."

I found the way from comment section. Thanks to #blackapps.
val inputStream = context!!.contentResolver.openInputStream(data.data!!)
