    <p>Before Jelly Bean level 18 I can use music files which are not in Media store (for example, a <code>private</code> .mp3 file in a folder contains <code>.nomedia</code> file, so Media Scanner does not scan this folder and does not know about this file) but from Android 4.3 (tested on Nexus 4) I can not do that, it only works for music files which are already scanned by Media Scanner.</p> <p>The real reason of this problem is I cannot insert ContentValues with MediaColumns.DATA is a absolute path of a file not scanned by Media Scanner, insert method always return null.</p> <pre><code>Uri newUri = getCR().insert(uri, contentValues); // returns null in Android 4.3 </code></pre> <p>Does anyone have a workaround to use a private file (not scanned and not recognized by Media Scanner) as ringtone?</p> <p>Here is how I set ringtone:</p> <pre><code> File ringtoneFile = new File(audio.getPath()); ContentValues cv = new ContentValues(); cv.put(MediaColumns.DATA, ringtoneFile.getAbsolutePath()); cv.put(MediaColumns.TITLE, audio.getTitle()); cv.put(MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/*"); if (audio.getArtist() != null) cv.put(Media.ARTIST, audio.getArtist()); cv.put(Media.IS_RINGTONE, true); cv.put(Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, false); cv.put(Media.IS_ALARM, false); cv.put(Media.IS_MUSIC, false); Uri uri = Media.getContentUriForPath(ringtoneFile.getAbsolutePath()); Uri newUri = getCR().insert(uri, cv); ////return null in Android 4.3 if (newUri == null) { Cursor c = getCR().query(uri, new String[] { Media._ID }, Media.DATA + "=?", new String[] { ringtoneFile.getAbsolutePath() }, null); long id = -1; if (c != null &amp;&amp; c.moveToFirst()) { id = c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(Media._ID)); newUri = Uri.parse(uri.toString() + "/" + id); c.close(); } } if (newUri != null) { RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(getAppContext(), RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri); } </code></pre>

    3. COApollo (the music player) can do that so it is possible to do. Check in the source code of Apollo https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Apollo and see what can you understand from here.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
