Answer 1

for api 10 and above

android.media.MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
        mmr.setDataSource(songsList.get(songIndex).get("songPath"));

        byte [] data = mmr.getEmbeddedPicture();
               //coverart is an Imageview object

        // convert the byte array to a bitmap
        if(data != null)
        {
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
            coverart.setImageBitmap(bitmap); //associated cover art in bitmap
        }
        else
        {
            coverart.setImageResource(R.drawable.fallback_cover); //any default cover resourse folder
        }

            coverart.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
            coverart.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(500, 500));

Try FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever:

FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever();
retriever.setDataSource(uri);
byte [] data = retriever.getEmbeddedPicture();

// convert the byte array to a bitmap
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
// do something with the image ...
// mImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

retriever.release();

You can try with Picasso by using album_id. it is open source & less memory cache.

Dependency:

implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'

Code:

String albumId = songObject.getAlbum_id();

final Uri albumUri = Uri.parse("content://media/external/audio/albumart");

Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(albumUri, Long.parseLong(albumId));

    Picasso.get().load(uri)
            .fit()
            .centerCrop()
            .error(R.drawable.img_album)
            .into(holder.imgAlbumSongObject);

This is very late. but, may help someone.

Answer 4

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

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

Note this will work only at api level 10 or above
