Tizen Native API  7.0

The Media Storage Information API provides functions to manage storage information on the media items.

Required Header

#include <media_content.h>

Overview

A Storage allows you to manage external storage.
The system generates the storage id when the external storage is added. And the system manages the media information in each of the storage by using storage id.
So you can get the information from the storage that you want to view.

Typedef Documentation

typedef bool(* media_storage_cb)(media_storage_h storage, void *user_data)

Called for every storage in the obtained list of storages.

Deprecated:
Deprecated since 5.0.

Iterates over a media storage list.

Since :
2.4
Remarks:
You should not destroy storage returned by this function.
The callback is called in the main loop.
Parameters:
[in]storageThe handle of the media storage
[in]user_dataThe user data passed from the foreach function
Returns:
true to continue with the next iteration of the loop, otherwise false to break out of the loop
Precondition:
media_storage_foreach_storage_from_db() will invoke this function.

Function Documentation

Clones the media storage handle.

Deprecated:
Deprecated since 5.0.

This function copies the media storage handle from a source to the destination. There is no media_storage_create() function. The media_storage_h is created internally and available through media storage foreach function such as media_storage_foreach_storage_from_db(). To use this handle outside of these foreach functions, use this function.

Since :
2.4
Remarks:
The dst should be released using media_storage_destroy().
Parameters:
[out]dstThe destination handle to the media storage
[in]srcThe source handle to the media storage
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONESuccessful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORYOut of memory
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
See also:
media_storage_destroy()
media_storage_foreach_storage_from_db()
media_storage_get_storage_info_from_db()

Destroys media storage handle.

Deprecated:
Deprecated since 5.0.

The function frees all resources related to the media storage handle. This handle can no longer be used to perform any operations. New media storage handle has to be created before the next usage.

Since :
2.4
Parameters:
[in]storageThe media storage handle
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONESuccessful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
Precondition:
Get copy of media_storage_h handle by calling media_storage_clone().
See also:
media_storage_clone()
int media_storage_foreach_media_from_db ( const char *  storage_id,
filter_h  filter,
media_info_cb  callback,
void *  user_data 
)

Iterates through the media files with an optional filter in the given storage_id from the media database.

Deprecated:
Deprecated since 5.0. Use media_info_foreach_media_from_db() instead.

This function gets all media files associated with the given storage and meeting desired filter option and calls callback for every retrieved media item. If NULL is passed to the filter, no filtering is applied.

Since :
2.4
Remarks:
Do not call updating DB function like media_info_update_to_db() in your callback function, your callback function is invoked as inline function.
So, your callback function is in read state in SQLite. When you are in read state, sometimes you do not update DB.
We do not recommend you call updating DB function in callback of foreach function.
Use media_info_foreach_media_from_db() if you want to search for internal storage.
Parameters:
[in]storage_idThe ID of the media storage
[in]filterThe handle to the media filter
[in]callbackThe callback function to be invoked
[in]user_dataThe user data to be passed to the callback function
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONESuccessful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORYOut of memory
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_DB_FAILEDDB Operation failed
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_DB_BUSYDB Operation busy
Precondition:
This function requires opened connection to content service by media_content_connect().
Postcondition:
This function invokes media_info_cb().
