How to display album art for MP3?

Question

I tried 2 days full and even after that I really can't display my MP3 file's album art. The MP3 file is located in R.raw.t. Can anyone help me with this?

So you have the mp3 file in R.raw.t. Where is the album cover image you want to display? — RoflcoptrException, Apr 24 '11 at 09:25

Found this older Topic.

It seams, that the given link to the Android Music Player-App isn't available anymore. But, a Mirror on GitHub can be found here.

If we now take a look on the 'MusicUtils'-class, we see that the Album ID comes from an Object called 'sService', which is a 'IMediaPlaybackService'-Instance. This is an AIDL-File, so we look at the implementation in the 'MediaPlaybackService'-Class.

So this is the 'getAlbumID()'-method we find:

public long getAlbumId() {
    synchronized (this) {
        if (mCursor == null) {
            return -1;
        }
        return mCursor.getLong(mCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_ID));
    }
}

'MediaStore' is a standard Android Content-Provider, which is documented here.
