here I've modified your getPlayList() method. look into it.

ArrayList> getPlayList(String rootPath) {
            ArrayList> fileList = new ArrayList<>();


            try {
                File rootFolder = new File(rootPath);
                File[] files = rootFolder.listFiles(); //here you will get NPE if directory doesn't contains  any file,handle it like this.
                for (File file : files) {
                    if (file.isDirectory()) {
                        if (getPlayList(file.getAbsolutePath()) != null) {
                            fileList.addAll(getPlayList(file.getAbsolutePath()));
                        } else {
                            break;
                        }
                    } else if (file.getName().endsWith(".mp3")) {
                        HashMap song = new HashMap<>();
                        song.put("file_path", file.getAbsolutePath());
                        song.put("file_name", file.getName());
                        fileList.add(song);
                    }
                }
                return fileList;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                return null;
            }
        }

you can get the song name and song path like this:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
ArrayList> songList=getPlayList("/storage/sdcard1/");
        if(songList!=null){
        for(int i=0;i


Hope this will help you.
