mp_cursor* mp_query(mp_query_builder* builder); mp_media_item* mp_cursor_next(mp_cursor* cursor); void mp_cursor_close(mp_cursor* cursor);
is a native shared library (part of the Android Open Source Project - AOSP) that facilitates the low-level operations of the MediaProvider system service. While MediaProvider itself is a Java/Kotlin-based Content Provider running in the system_server process, this native library handles the heavy lifting of: libmediaprovider-1.0
| Operation | libmediaprovider-1.0 | Raw OS APIs | |-----------|----------------------|--------------| | Enumerate 5000 local images (cold cache) | 1.2 sec | 0.8 sec | | Extract metadata from 1000 MP3s | 2.4 sec | 1.9 sec (parallel ffprobe ) | | First scan of network folder (SMB, 2000 files) | 8.1 sec | 6.5 sec | | Incremental change detection (100 new files) | 0.09 sec | 0.05 sec | Understanding LibMediaProvider-1
The library employs LRU (Least Recently Used) caching at native level, avoiding redundant decoding. For a 10,000-image gallery, this can reduce thumbnail generation time from minutes to seconds after the first scan. mp_cursor* mp_query(mp_query_builder* builder)
