Tizen Native API  6.5

The Media Filter API provides functions to manage media filters.

Required Header

#include <media_content.h>

Overview

A Media filter is required for filtering information associated with media Folder, Tag, Audio, Bookmark and Media Information on basis of details like offset, count, order and condition for searching.
Media Filter API provides functions for creating and destroying media filters.
It provide functions to set properties and also provide functions for getting filter properties associated with a given media filter.


Setting media filter properties helps to limit the number of filtered items as following:

  • Offset - Used to set starting position of the filter's search
  • Count - Used to set number of items to be searched from offset
  • Condition - Used to set keyword which user want to search
  • Order - Used to set type of media to be ordered by the filter


The Media Filter API provides functions for creating and destroying media filters.
It provide functions to set and get properties of the filter associated with a given media filter.
For creating a media filter (filter_h), call media_filter_create() function and call media_filter_destroy() function for destroying an existing filter.
For setting filter properties call the respective set functions e.g. to set offset position, call media_filter_set_offset() function and call media_filter_set_condition() function to set the condition like an sql "where" clause.
Searchable expression can use one of the following forms:

  • column = value
  • column > value
  • column >= value
  • column < value
  • column <= value
  • value = column
  • * - value > column
  • value >= column
  • value < column
  • value <= column
  • column IN (value)
  • column IN (value-list)
  • column NOT IN (value)
  • column NOT IN (value-list)
  • column LIKE value
  • expression1 AND expression2 OR expression3


Note that if you want to set qoutation(" ' " or " " ") as value of LIKE operator, you should use two times.(" '' " or " "" ") \n And the optional ESCAPE clause is supported. Both percent symbol("%") and underscore symbol("_") are used in the LIKE pattern.
If these characters are used as value of LIKE operation, then the expression following the ESCAPE clause of sqlite will be ignored.

For example,

  • column LIKE ('#') ESCAPE('#') - "#" is escape character, it will be ignored.

Similarly, call respective get function to get filter properties e.g. call media_filter_get_condition() function to get condition of the media filter and call media_filter_get_order() function to get order (media_content_order_e) of the filtered items and so on.

Example

You can set the filter as follows.

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <media_content.h>

 #define MAX_QUERY_LEN 512
 #define DLOG_TAG "media-content-test"

 filter_h g_filter = NULL;

 int create_filter()
 {
     int ret = MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONE;
     char condition[MAX_QUERY_LEN] = {0,};

     snprintf(condition,sizeof(condition),"%s = 0",MEDIA_TYPE);

     ret = media_filter_create(&g_filter);
     ret = media_filter_set_condition(g_filter, condition, MEDIA_CONTENT_COLLATE_DEFAULT);
     ret = media_filter_set_order(g_filter, MEDIA_CONTENT_ORDER_DESC, MEDIA_ARTIST, MEDIA_CONTENT_COLLATE_DEFAULT);

     return ret;
 }

And you can use the created filter as follows.

 int get_media_count()
 {
     int ret = MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONE;
     int media_cnt = 0;

     ret = media_info_get_media_count_from_db(g_filter, &media_cnt);
     dlog_print(DLOG_DEBUG, DLOG_TAG, "media count [%d]\n", media_cnt);

     return ret;
 }
