Question

I have an application that lists all videos in MediaStore. (I need both internal storage and external storage).

Basically I have two cursors which query MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI and MediaStore.Video.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI.

Then I use a MergeCursor to merge these queries and display in a ListView with a CursorAdapter.

The thing is that sometimes I want to delete one of the videos, but I need the “content Uri” for this operation because I don’t have a way to determine the storage of the selected video.

I have the full file path of the Video and the ID in MediaStore.

How can I get the “content Uri” from the file path/Uri?

Answering my own question 🙂

Found an easy and trivial(!) way to find the storage of the path:**

    if(selectedVideoPath.indexOf(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()) == 0)
    {
        getContentResolver().delete(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, 
                MediaStore.Video.Media._ID + "=" + videoId,
                null);
    }
    else {
        getContentResolver().delete(MediaStore.Video.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, 
                MediaStore.Video.Media._ID + "=" + videoId,
                null);          
    }
