Body
copied!<p>I'm receiving this <code>java.lang.IllegalStateException: not connected to MediaScannerService</code> exception in some crash reports from my app.</p> <p>They are not too many, but I don’t know what’s wrong in my code, because on my phone/emulator it works OK. I’m using a method to call the MediaScanner adapted from a SO question/answer at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9707572/android-how-to-get-and-setchange-id3-tagmetadata-of-audio-files/11035755#11035755">How to get and set (change) ID3 tag (metadata) of audio files?</a></p> <p>The method:</p> <pre><code>public static void scanMedia(Context context, final File[] file, final String[] mime) { msc = new MediaScannerConnection(context, new MediaScannerConnectionClient() { public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) { Utils.logger("d", "Scanned " + path + ":", DEBUG_TAG); Utils.logger("d", "-> uri: " + uri, DEBUG_TAG); msc.disconnect(); } public void onMediaScannerConnected() { for (int i = 0; i < file.length; i++) { msc.scanFile(file[i].getAbsolutePath(), mime[i]); } } }); msc.connect(); } </code></pre> <p>My calls:</p> <pre><code>Utils.scanMedia(getApplicationContext(), new File[] {myVideo}, new String[] {"video/*"}); </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>Utils.scanMedia(getApplicationContext(), new File[] {myOtherVideo, myAudio}, new String[] {"video/*", "audio/*"});` </code></pre> <p>How can avoid those exceptions?</p>
