All work is made using Android native [MediaStore API](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore) with [ContentResolver API](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentResolver) and query methods run in background thread. AndroidX support it's OK! Note: This plugin is under development, Works in Android devices only and some APIs are not available yet. Feedback, pull request, bug reports and suggestions are all welcome! Feel free to help! # Example app included ![](https://i.ibb.co/ypbxFLz/artists-anim.gif) | ![](https://i.ibb.co/0c8MpDZ/albums-anim.gif) | ![](https://i.ibb.co/CmYV3qR/genres-anim.gif) | ![](https://i.ibb.co/64qtVZC/songs-anim.gif) | ![](https://i.ibb.co/86VzvyT/playlists-anim.gif) ## Features * Android permissions READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE built-in * Get all artists audio info available on device storage * Get artists available from a specific genre * Search for artists matching a name * Artist comes with some album Artwork cover if available * Get all albums info available on device storage * Get albums available from a specific artist * Get albums available from a specific genre * Search albums matching a name * Album artwork included if available * Get songs all songs available on device storage * Get songs from a specific album * Songs already comes with album artwork cover if available * Get availables genre. * Get all playlists available * Create new playlists * Remove playlist * Add songs to playlist * Remove song from playlist * Multiple sort types for Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Playlist. ## TO DO * Make this basic implementation for iOS. * Allow change playlist songs order * Streams support. * Improvements in background tasks. * More tests and probably bug fixes. ## Usage To use this plugin, add `flutter_audio_query` as a [dependency in your pubspec.yaml file](https://flutter.io/platform-plugins/). For example: ```yaml dependencies: flutter_audio_query: "^0.3.5+6" ``` ## API ### FlutterAudioQuery To get get audio files metadata info you just need `FlutterAudioQuery` object instance. ```dart ///you need include this file only. import 'package:flutter_audio_query/flutter_audio_query.dart'; /// create a FlutterAudioQuery instance. final FlutterAudioQuery audioQuery = FlutterAudioQuery(); ``` #### Getting all artist available on device storage: ```dart List artists = await audioQuery.getArtists(); // returns all artists available artists.forEach( (artist){ print(artist); /// prints all artist property values } ); ``` #### Getting albums data: ```dart /// getting all albums available on device storage List albumList = await audioQuery.getAlbums(); /// getting all albums available from a specific artist List albums = await audioQuery.getAlbumsFromArtist(artist: artist.name); albums.forEach( (artistAlbum) { print(artistAlbum); //print all album property values }); ``` #### Getting artwork on Android >= Q: Since Android API level 29 ALBUM_ART constant is deprecated and plus scoped storage approach we can't load artwork from absolute image path. So if your app is running over Android API >= 29 you will get all artwork fields with null. To fetch images on these API levels you can use getArwork method. ```dart /// detecting, loading and displaying an artist artwork. ArtistInfo artist // assuming a non null instance // check if artistArtPath isn't available. (artist.artistArtPath == null) ? FutureBuilder( future: audioQuery.getArtwork( type: ResourceType.ARTIST, id: artist.id), builder: (_, snapshot) { if (snapshot.data == null) return Container( height: 250.0, child: Center( child: CircularProgressIndicator(), ), ); return CardItemWidget( height: 250.0, title: artist.name, subtitle: "Number of Albums: ${artist.numberOfAlbums}", infoText: "Number of Songs: ${artist.numberOfTracks}", // The image bytes // You can use Image.memory widget constructor // or MemoryImage image provider class to load image from bytes // or a different approach. rawImage: snapshot.data, ); }) : // or you can load image from File path if available. Image.file( File( artist.artistArtPath ) ) ``` ### Getting genre data ```dart /// getting all genres available List genreList = audioQuery.getGenres(); genreList.foreach( (genre){ /// getting all artists available from specific genre. await audioQuery.getArtistsFromGenre(genre: genre.name); /// getting all albums which appears on genre [genre]. await audioQuery.getAlbumsFromGenre(genre: genre.name); /// getting all songs which appears on genre [genre] await audioQuery.getSongsFromGenre(genre: genre.name); } ); ``` ### Getting songs data ```dart /// getting all songs available on device storage List songs = await audioQuery.getSongs(); albumList.foreach( (album){ /// getting songs from specific album audioQuery.getSongsFromAlbum(album: album.name); } ); ``` ### Getting playlist data ```dart /// getting all playlist available List playlist = await audioQuery.getPlaylists(); /// Getting playlist songs List songs = await audioQuery.getSongsFromPlaylist(playlist: playlist[0]); /// adding songs into a specific playlist PlaylistInfo updatedPlaylist = await playlist[0].addSong(song: songs[2] ); //removing song from a specific playlist updatedPlaylist = await updatedPlaylist.removeSong(song: songs[2]); ``` ### Sorting queries You can also define a sort query constraint to get the data already sorted using sort enums.ArtistSortType, AlbumSortType, SongSortType, GenreSortType, PlaylistSortType. ```dart /// Getting albums sorted by most recent year first audioQuery.getAlbums(sortType: AlbumSortType.MOST_RECENT_YEAR ) /// getting artists sorted by number of songs audioQuery.getArtits(sortType: ArtistSortType.MORE_TRACKS_NUMBER_FIRST); /// and more... ``` ### Searching You can search using search methods. ```dart ///searching for albums that title starts with 'a' List albums = await audioQuery.searchAlbums(query "a"); /// searching for songs that title starts with 'la' List songs = await audioQuery.searchSongs(query: "la"); ``` ## Contributing Pull requests are welcome.
