How to differentiate between audio 3gp file and video 3gp file

Question

I have some audio 3gp file and video 3gp file .I need only video 3gp file but my query returning me both audio and video file.My Api level is8

Here is my query

 String[] data = { MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA };
 Cursor vid_cursor=this.managedQuery(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,data, null, null, null);

I can filter it by checking the height, only video will return height as it is shown here but I don't want to calculate height everytime.

Try this may helps you

String[] data = { MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA };
         Cursor vid_cursor=this.managedQuery(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,data, MediaStore.Video.Media.HEIGHT+">0", null, null);

This will work with API level 16 and onward.

Update :for lower version (We need to check content type like this)

ursor vid_cursor=this.managedQuery(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,data, MediaStore.Video.Media.CONTENT_TYPE +" like %video%", null, null);

mime type returns format like mp4 ,3gpp etc therefore ur query is not working – Shakeeb Ayaz Oct 29 '13 at 04:27
Hi I just update the post. We need to check content_type rather mime_type try this and let me know. – Biraj Zalavadia Oct 29 '13 at 05:25
