Answer 1

This code will give you an arrayList of hash map which content the song title as well as song absolute path

public ArrayList> getAudioList() {

    ArrayList> mSongsList = new ArrayList>();
    Cursor mCursor = getContentResolver().query(
            MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
            new String[] { MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME,
                    MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA }, null, null, null);

    int count = mCursor.getCount();
    System.out.println("total no of songs are=" + count);
    HashMap songMap;
    while (mCursor.moveToNext()) {
        songMap = new HashMap();
        songMap.put("songTitle",mCursor.getString(mCursor
                        .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME)));
        songMap.put("songPath", mCursor.getString(mCursor
                .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA)));
        mSongsList.add(songMap);
    }
    mCursor.close();
    return mSongsList;
}
