But why would you want to directly insert data like that in the first place?
The SDK has a helper class, MediaScannerConnection, which submits a file for scanning, and makes sure it's properly indexed by the system. If you're going to use VIEW_ACTION, you can subclass and wait for the scan to complete. On my Nexus 7 (last year's model) with 4.3, this whole thing takes all of 100ms, probably less than the intent chooser's opening animation. ( I still think that making apps responsible for maintaining system level data structures was a weird decision... :) ) -- K On Sunday, August 4, 2013 12:24:03 PM UTC+4, eli wrote: > > The solution for this issue is to query the Database, instead of insert to > it, I posted the full solution with code to this issue in my blog: > > http://androidwarzone.blogspot.co.il/2013/08/media-play-and-share-to-youtube-breaks.html > > > Eli > > > On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 11:20 PM, Eli Hasson <[email protected]<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> Yep, >> Looks like I found the issue: >> 08-02 23:11:54.524: E/SQLiteDatabase(11214): Error inserting >> bucket_id=1643208667 media_type=3 title=out.mp4 storage_id=65537 >> mime_type=video/mp4 date_modified=1375474313 _display_name=out.mp4 >> date_added=1375474314 parent=1184 _size=325469 format=12299 >> _data=/storage/emulated/0/compressed/out.mp4 bucket_display_name=compressed >> 08-02 23:11:54.524: E/SQLiteDatabase(11214): >> android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstraintException: column _data is not >> unique (code 19) >> >> The thing is, Google changed the functionality of the insert, seems that >> column data must be unique. >> >> Eli >> >> >> On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 11:02 PM, Nobu Games >> <[email protected]<javascript:> >> > wrote: >> >>> Is there anything in log cat related to MediaStore? >>> >>> >>> On Friday, August 2, 2013 2:43:17 PM UTC-5, eli wrote: >>> >>>> Thanks for your answer, I just entered hard coded values there to make >>>> the code more clear, this is not the issue. >>>> >>>> Eli >>>> On Aug 2, 2013 10:29 PM, "Nobu Games" <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>>> Sorry Eli, >>>>> >>>>> I should have read your code more carefully.
