How to extract metadata from mp3?

Question

I've got file name of mp3 file. How can I extract metadata like artist, album, album image,... from this mp3 file?

Answer 1

try this for API level 10 or greater

 MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
 mmr.setDataSource(filePath);

String albumName = mmr.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_ALBUM));

and so on...

Answer 2

         MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
         mmr.setDataSource(songsList.get(songIndex).get("songPath"));
         byte[] artBytes =  mmr.getEmbeddedPicture();
         if(artBytes!=null)
           {
        //     InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(mmr.getEmbeddedPicture());
             Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(artBytes, 0, artBytes.length);
             bSongImage.setImageBitmap(bm);
         }
         else
         {
             bSongImage.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.cmp));
         }

else for not having embedded image in audio file

Answer 3

MetaDataRetriever m_metaRetriever = new MetaDataRetriever();
m_metaRetriever.setDataSource(MainActivity.this,uriSound);

The input parameter of the setDataSource method should include the context also.Else it throws illigalArgument Exception.
