I use some third party libs to edit mp3 file ID3 tags (metadata) in my Android app. After editing this data the file metadata is not visible in the google files explorer for a longer time and in my app I can only see it fully changed after a phone reboot. Is there a way to refresh/reindex this files forcefully in my apps file explorer?

After writing any kind of media files like audio, video etc. you have to update the Mediastore database through its api. This happens automatically after a system reboot, but not automatically during the app lifecycle.
