DATA

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level Baklava

public static final String DATA

Absolute filesystem path to the media item on disk.

Apps may use this path to do file operations. However, they should not assume that the file is always available. Apps must be prepared to handle any file-based I/O errors that could occur.

From Android 11 onwards, this column is read-only for apps that target R and higher. On those devices, when creating or updating a uri, this column's value is not accepted. Instead, to update the filesystem location of a file, use the values of the DISPLAY_NAME and RELATIVE_PATH columns.

Though direct file operations are supported, ContentResolver.openFileDescriptor(Uri, String) API is recommended for better performance.

The value stored in this column is automatically calculated when IS_PENDING or IS_TRASHED is changed. The default pending expiration is typically 7 days, and the default trashed expiration is typically 30 days.

Expired media items are automatically deleted once their expiration time has passed, typically during the next device idle period.
Value is a non-negative timestamp measured as the number of seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a ContentProvider through a ContentValues or Cursor object. The values stored in this column are Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER , and are read-only and cannot be mutated.

Indexed value of File.lastModified() extracted from this media item.
Value is a non-negative timestamp measured as the number of seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a ContentProvider through a ContentValues or Cursor object. The values stored in this column are Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER , and are read-only and cannot be mutated.

Constant Value: "disc_number"

DISPLAY_NAME

Added in API level 1

public static final String DISPLAY_NAME

The display name of the media item.

For example, an item stored at /storage/0000-0000/DCIM/Vacation/IMG1024.JPG would have a display name of IMG1024.JPG.
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a ContentProvider through a ContentValues or Cursor object. The values stored in this column are Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_STRING .

Constant Value: "_display_name"

DOCUMENT_ID

Constant Value: "duration"

GENERATION_ADDED

Added in API level 30

public static final String GENERATION_ADDED

Generation number at which metadata for this media item was first inserted. This is useful for apps that are attempting to quickly identify exactly which media items have been added since a previous point in time. Generation numbers are monotonically increasing over time, and can be safely arithmetically compared.

Detecting media additions using generation numbers is more robust than using DATE_ADDED, since those values may change in unexpected ways when apps use File.setLastModified(long) or when the system clock is set incorrectly.

Note that before comparing these detailed generation values, you should first confirm that the overall version hasn't changed by checking MediaStore.getVersion(Context, String), since that indicates when a more radical change has occurred. If the overall version changes, you should assume that generation numbers have been reset and perform a full synchronization pass.
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a ContentProvider through a ContentValues or Cursor object. The values stored in this column are Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER , and are read-only and cannot be mutated.

See also:

• MediaStore.getGeneration(Context, String)

Constant Value: "generation_added"

GENERATION_MODIFIED

Added in API level 30

public static final String GENERATION_MODIFIED

Generation number at which metadata for this media item was last changed. This is useful for apps that are attempting to quickly identify exactly which media items have changed since a previous point in time. Generation numbers are monotonically increasing over time, and can be safely arithmetically compared.

Detecting media changes using generation numbers is more robust than using DATE_MODIFIED, since those values may change in unexpected ways when apps use File.setLastModified(long) or when the system clock is set incorrectly.

Note that before comparing these detailed generation values, you should first confirm that the overall version hasn't changed by checking MediaStore.getVersion(Context, String), since that indicates when a more radical change has occurred. If the overall version changes, you should assume that generation numbers have been reset and perform a full synchronization pass.

This constant represents a column name that can be used with a ContentProvider through a ContentValues or Cursor object. The values stored in this column are Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER , and are read-only and cannot be mutated.

Constant Value: "inferred_date"

Note: the format attribute may be ignored if the top-level MIME type disagrees with the file extension. For example, it's reasonable for an image/jpeg file to declare a format of image/vnd.google.panorama360+jpg, but declaring a format of audio/ogg would be ignored.

This is a read-only column that is automatically computed.

This "original document ID" links a resource to its original source. For example, when you save a PSD document as a JPEG, then convert the JPEG to GIF format, the "original document ID" of both the JPEG and GIF files is the "document ID" of the original PSD file.
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a ContentProvider through a ContentValues or Cursor object. The values stored in this column are Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_STRING , and are read-only and cannot be mutated.

Relative path of this media item within the storage device where it is persisted. For example, an item stored at /storage/0000-0000/DCIM/Vacation/IMG1024.JPG would have a path of DCIM/Vacation/.

This value should only be used for organizational purposes, and you should not attempt to construct or access a raw filesystem path using this value. If you need to open a media item, use an API like ContentResolver.openFileDescriptor(Uri, String).

When this value is set to NULL during an ContentResolver.insert operation, the newly created item will be placed in a relevant default location based on the type of media being inserted. For example, a image/jpeg item will be placed under Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES.

You can modify this column during an ContentResolver.update call, which will move the underlying file on disk.

In both cases above, content must be placed under a top-level directory that is relevant to the media type. For example, attempting to place a audio/mpeg file under Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES will be rejected.
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a ContentProvider through a ContentValues or Cursor object. The values stored in this column are Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_STRING .

Constant Value: "relative_path"
