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]	storage	The handle of the media storage
[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_storage_foreach_storage_from_db() will invoke this function.

See also:: media_storage_foreach_storage_from_db()

typedef void* media_storage_h

The structure type for the Media storage handle.

Deprecated:: Deprecated since 5.0.

Since :: 2.4

Function Documentation

int media_storage_clone	(	media_storage_h *	dst,
		media_storage_h	src
	)

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

Returns:: 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONE	Successful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY	Out of memory
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter

See also:: media_storage_destroy(); media_storage_foreach_storage_from_db(); media_storage_get_storage_info_from_db()

int media_storage_destroy ( media_storage_h storage )

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] storage The media storage handle

Returns:: 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_NONE	Successful
MEDIA_CONTENT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid 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(), 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.
Use media_info_foreach_media_from_db() if you want to search for internal storage.

Parameters:

[in]	storage_id	The ID of the media storage
[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().

Postcondition:: This function invokes media_info_cb().

See also:: media_info_cb; media_content_connect(); media_filter_create()

int media_storage_foreach_storage_from_db	(	filter_h	filter,
