Track info of currently playing music

Question

I am implementing an application related to getting current music track information.

I am using the following code to get that:

public class CurrentMusicTrackInfoActivity extends Activity {      public static final String SERVICECMD = "com.android.music.musicservicecommand";      @Override     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.main);          IntentFilter iF = new IntentFilter();         iF.addAction("com.android.music.metachanged");         iF.addAction("com.android.music.playstatechanged");         iF.addAction("com.android.music.playbackcomplete");         iF.addAction("com.android.music.queuechanged");          registerReceiver(mReceiver, iF);     }      private BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {          @Override         public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {             String action = intent.getAction();             String cmd = intent.getStringExtra("command");             Log.v("tag ", action + " / " + cmd);             String artist = intent.getStringExtra("artist");             String album = intent.getStringExtra("album");             String track = intent.getStringExtra("track");             Log.v("tag", artist + ":" + album + ":" + track);             Toast.makeText(CurrentMusicTrackInfoActivity.this, track, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();         }     };  } 

It is working fine for some mobiles only. I want to implement code to get current music track info in all Android devices (e.g. HTC and Samsung devices).

Is there any way of doing this?

Answer 1

Check this this is what am used in my app working well

    iF.addAction("com.android.music.metachanged");      iF.addAction("com.htc.music.metachanged");      iF.addAction("fm.last.android.metachanged");     iF.addAction("com.sec.android.app.music.metachanged");     iF.addAction("com.nullsoft.winamp.metachanged");     iF.addAction("com.amazon.mp3.metachanged");          iF.addAction("com.miui.player.metachanged");             iF.addAction("com.real.IMP.metachanged");     iF.addAction("com.sonyericsson.music.metachanged");     iF.addAction("com.rdio.android.metachanged");     iF.addAction("com.samsung.sec.android.MusicPlayer.metachanged");     iF.addAction("com.andrew.apollo.metachanged"); 

Answer 2

This might help. I use this to get metadata on audio files in one of my apps:

String scheme = mAudioUri.getScheme(); String title = ""; String artist = ""; if(scheme.equals("content")) {     String[] proj = {MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE, MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST};     Cursor cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(mAudioUri, proj, null, null, null);     if(cursor != null && cursor.getCount() > 0) {         cursor.moveToFirst();         if(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE) != -1) {               title = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE));             artist = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST));         }     } } 

There are lots of columns in the MediaStore.Audio.Media class which you can use to find what you're looking for I think.
