IOS::How to get the MPMediaquery Songsquery Artwork

Question

I'm using this code for getting the Artwork, but it's not workout for me. What's the wrong in this code.Suggest me. Thanks.

MPMediaQuery *mySongsQuery = [MPMediaQuery songsQuery];
            NSArray *SongsList = [mySongsQuery collections];
            for (MPMediaItemCollection *SongsArt in SongsList) {
NSArray *songs = [SongsArt items];
                for (MPMediaItem *song in songs) {

                    if ([(MPMediaItem*)item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL] != nil) {
                    CGSize artworkImageViewSize = CGSizeMake(40, 40);
                    MPMediaItemArtwork *artwork = [song valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
                    UIImage * image = [artwork imageWithSize:artworkImageViewSize];
                    if (image!= nil)
                    {
                        imgv_songImageView.image = image;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        imgv_songImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"musicD-jpeg.png"];
                    }
       }
    }

I assume you just want to loop through all songs in the music library so I don't see a need for collections:

MPMediaQuery *mySongsQuery = [MPMediaQuery songsQuery];

for (MPMediaItem *item in mySongsQuery.items) {
  if (![[item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyIsCloudItem]boolValue]) {

    CGSize artworkImageViewSize = CGSizeMake(40, 40);
    MPMediaItemArtwork *artwork = [song valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
    UIImage *image = [artwork imageWithSize:artworkImageViewSize];

    if (image) {
      imgv_songImageView.image = image;
    } else {
      imgv_songImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"musicD-jpeg.png"];
    }
  }
}

I'm not sure why you want to check for the Asset URL but I've left it in.

Use `MPMediaItemPropertyIsCloudItem` instead. – sooper Sep 08 '14 at 11:18
It's also giving same output. – Ravikumar Sep 08 '14 at 11:19
What do you mean exactly? You're getting `0` for all songs even if they're not on the device? Try changing the if statement around, see updated answer. – sooper Sep 08 '14 at 13:02
I'm getting the songs name and singer name, its fine,but artwork is not getting. – Ravikumar Sep 08 '14 at 14:13

Here i am posting the code to get the tracks and sorting them alphabetically. Its written in swift3.

    /// Get all the songs in the device and display in the tableview
///
func getAllSongs() {
    let query: MPMediaQuery = MPMediaQuery.songs()
    let allSongs = query.items

    allSongItems?.removeAll()

    guard allSongs != nil else {
        return
    }

    var index = 0
    for item in allSongs! {
        let pathURL: URL? = item.value(forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL) as? URL
        if pathURL == nil {
            print("@Warning!!! Track : \(item) is not playable.")
        } else {
            let trackInfo = SongItem()
            trackInfo.index = index
            trackInfo.mediaItem = item

            let title = item.value(forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyTitle) as? String ?? "<Unknown>"
            let artistName = item.value(forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyArtist) as? String ?? "<Unknown>"
            trackInfo.songName = title
            trackInfo.artistName = artistName

            trackInfo.isSelected = false
            trackInfo.songURL = item.value(forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL) as? URL
            allSongItems?.append(trackInfo)
            index += 1
        }
    }

    // Sort the songs alphabetically
    let sortedArray: [SongItem]? = allSongItems?.sorted {
        $0.songName!.localizedCompare($1.songName!) == .orderedAscending
    }
    allSongItems?.removeAll()
    if let arr = sortedArray {
        allSongItems?.append(contentsOf: arr)
    }


}
