Change album art using jaudiotagger

Question

I'm trying to change the album art of an audio file using jaudiotagger but it is not working. There are a lot of question regarding this topic but none of them fulfilled my requirements. Other fields such as artist,audio name, album etc are updated successfully but the album artwork remains the same.

The code I'm using to change the artwork:

  public void changeAlbumArt(Uri data) {


    Artwork cover = null;
    try {
        AudioFile f = null;
        try {
            f = AudioFileIO.read(new File(storageUtil.loadAudio().get(storageUtil.loadAudioIndex()).getData()));
        } catch (CannotReadException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (TagException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ReadOnlyFileException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InvalidAudioFrameException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        Tag tag = null;
        if (f != null) {
            tag = f.getTag();
        }


        try {
            if(tag!=null) {
                cover = ArtworkFactory.createArtworkFromFile(new File(data.getPath()));
                tag.deleteArtworkField();
                tag.setField(cover);

            }
        } catch (FieldDataInvalidException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            if (f != null) {
                f.commit();
            }
        } catch (CannotWriteException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    File file = new File(storageUtil.loadAudio().get(storageUtil.loadAudioIndex()).getData());
    Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
    Intent scanFileIntent = new Intent(
            Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, uri);
    sendBroadcast(scanFileIntent);


}

I had this working at one point but have reverted back to jid3 as jaudiotagger required some io files which were not available in android. In addition, for android Gingerbread+ to write to external storage requires the SAF framework. I have managed to modify the jid3 library so it works but only for mp3.

for mp3 files:

     public String setMp3AlbumArt(File SourceFile, byte[] bytes)
        throws Exception {
    String error = null;
    try {
        MP3File musicFile = (MP3File) AudioFileIO.read(SourceFile);
        AbstractID3v2Tag tag = musicFile.getID3v2Tag();
        if (tag != null) {
            Artwork artwork = null;
            try {
                artwork = ArtworkFactory.createArtworkFromFile(SourceFile);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                error = e.getMessage();
            }
            if (artwork != null) {
                artwork.setBinaryData(bytes);
                tag.deleteArtworkField();
                tag.setField(artwork);
                musicFile.setTag(tag);
                musicFile.commit();
            } else {
                artwork.setBinaryData(bytes);
                tag.addField(artwork);
                tag.setField(artwork);
                musicFile.setTag(tag);
                musicFile.commit();
            }
        }

    } catch (CannotReadException | IOException | TagException
            | ReadOnlyFileException | InvalidAudioFrameException e) {
        error = e.getMessage();
    }
    return error;
}
