MediaScannerConnection

Kotlin |Java

public class MediaScannerConnection
extends Object implements ServiceConnection

java.lang.Object
↳	android.media.MediaScannerConnection

MediaScannerConnection provides a way for applications to pass a newly created or downloaded media file to the media scanner service. The media scanner service will read metadata from the file and add the file to the media content provider. The MediaScannerConnectionClient provides an interface for the media scanner service to return the Uri for a newly scanned file to the client of the MediaScannerConnection class.

Summary

Nested classes
`interface`	`MediaScannerConnection.MediaScannerConnectionClient` An interface for notifying clients of MediaScannerConnection when a connection to the MediaScanner service has been established and when the scanning of a file has completed.
`interface`	`MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener` Interface for notifying clients of the result of scanning a requested media file.

Public constructors
`MediaScannerConnection(Context context, MediaScannerConnection.MediaScannerConnectionClient client)` Constructs a new MediaScannerConnection object.

Public methods
`void`	`connect()` Initiates a connection to the media scanner service.
`void`	`disconnect()` Releases the connection to the media scanner service.
`boolean`	`isConnected()` Returns whether we are connected to the media scanner service
`void`	`onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service)` Part of the ServiceConnection interface.
`void`	`onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className)` Part of the ServiceConnection interface.
`void`	`scanFile(String path, String mimeType)` Requests the media scanner to scan a file.
`static void`	`scanFile(Context context, String[] paths, String[] mimeTypes, MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener callback)` Convenience for constructing a `MediaScannerConnection`, calling `connect()` on it, and calling `scanFile(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)` with the given `path` and `mimeType` when the connection is established.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface


        
          android.content.ServiceConnection

`default void`	`onBindingDied(ComponentName name)` Called when the binding to this connection is dead.
`default void`	`onNullBinding(ComponentName name)` Called when the service being bound has returned `null` from its `onBind()` method.
`abstract void`	`onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service)` Called when a connection to the Service has been established, with the `IBinder` of the communication channel to the Service.
`abstract void`	`onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name)` Called when a connection to the Service has been lost.
