Media Folder

---

The Media folder API provides functions to get information about folders.

Required Header

#include <media_content.h>

Overview

A Folder is used to organize media content files i.e. image, audio, video files, in the physical storage of the device. The Media Folder API provides functions to get basic information about existing folders e.g. folder name, path and storage type. It also provides functions to get information related to media items present in the folder.

For getting information about folder call the respective get functions e.g. to get path and name of a given folder call media_folder_get_path() and media_folder_get_name() function respectively and so on.
Similarly call media_folder_get_media_count_from_db() to get count of media items present in a given folder.

Typedef Documentation

typedef bool(* media_folder_cb)(media_folder_h folder, void *user_data)

Called for every available media folder.

Iterates over a list of folders.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

To use the folder outside this function, copy the handle with the media_folder_clone() function.
The callback is called in the main loop.

Parameters:

[in]	folder	The handle to the media folder
[in]	user_data	The 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_folder_foreach_folder_from_db() will invoke this function.

See also:

media_folder_clone()

media_folder_foreach_folder_from_db()

typedef struct media_folder_s* media_folder_h

Function Documentation

int media_folder_clone	(	media_folder_h *	dst,
		media_folder_h	src
	)

Clones the media folder.

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

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

The dst should be released using media_folder_destroy().

Parameters:

[out]	dst	The destination handle to the media folder
[in]	src	The source handle to the media folder

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONE	Successful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter

See also:

media_folder_destroy()

media_folder_foreach_folder_from_db()

int media_folder_destroy

(

media_folder_h

folder

)

Destroys the media folder.

The function frees all resources related to the folder handle. This handle no longer can be used to perform any operation. A new handle has to be created before the next use.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]

folder

The handle to the media folder

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONE	Successful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter

Precondition:

A copy of the media folder handle created by calling media_folder_clone().

See also:

media_folder_clone()

int media_folder_foreach_folder_from_db	(	filter_h	filter,
		media_folder_cb	callback,
		void *	user_data
	)

Iterates through available media folders with optional filter from the media database.

This function gets the media folder meeting the given filter. The callback function will be invoked for every retrieved folder. If NULL is passed to the filter, no filtering is applied.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

Do not call updating DB function like media_folder_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.

Parameters:

[in]	filter	The handle to the media filter
[in]	callback	The callback function to be invoked
[in]	user_data	The user data to be passed to the callback function

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONE	Successful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY	Out of memory
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_DB_FAILED	DB Operation failed
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_DB_BUSY	DB Operation busy

Precondition:

This function requires opened connection to content service by media_content_connect().

A filter handle has to be created by calling media_filter_create().

Postcondition:

This function invokes media_folder_cb().

media_filter_create()

int media_folder_foreach_media_from_db	(	const char *	folder_id,
		filter_h	filter,

	)

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

This function gets all media files associated with the given folder 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 :

2.3

Remarks:

Do not call updating DB function like media_info_update_to_db(), media_info_refresh_metadata_to_db(), audio_meta_update_to_db(), image_meta_update_to_db() and video_meta_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.
