Question

How can I construct a URI to table MediaStore.Files.FileColumns ?
I try like this:

Uri uri=Uri.parse(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns);

But in Eclipse “MediaStore.Files.FileColumns” is underlined. I guess, I do this wrong. How to correctly construct a URI?

Answer 1

FileColumns is interface. You cannot reference interface. If you need explicit column, use

Uri uri=Uri.parse(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.<COLUMN>);

for example:

Uri uri=Uri.parse(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE);
