Question

In android I can’t figure out why this cursor is empty in htc wildfire. but works on all other phones
there are several audiofiles on the sdcard.
the stock mediaplayer can find and play these songs alright.

Cursor c = managedQuery(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, new String[] { "distinct " + MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM, MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_KEY, MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_ID}, 
                null,
                null, 
                MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST);

If there is anyone out there that has been able to successfully query the mediastore.audio.media on a wildfire, please let me know.

Update: Apperantly it’s just on this single device. Other wildfire’s work fine. Still it seems strange that both the ambling book player (I’m guessing they just loop through the folders and do their own id3 parsing) and the stock android music player find the music but I can’t get anything from the mediastore. No “.nomedia” files are present, I have tried inserting new mp3 files to a new folder.

Is there no one out there that has experienced this behaviour with, not necessarily a wildfire, just any android device.
