Answer 1

Î tried querying the ContenProvider like you can see it in Logcat when you Start the google Music app:

getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://com.google.android.music.MusicContent/playlists"), null, null, null, null);

but I got no result :-( maybe Im doing s.th. wrong, didnt work much with contentproviders before, or maybe the contentprovider is not public for other apps.

Answer 2

I know this thread is old, but I have been grappling with this problem too.

Google Play Music exposes its playlists at this non-standard Content URI

// list all playlists with their ID and Name
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
    "content://com.google.android.music.MusicContent/playlists", 
    new String[] {"_id", "playlist_name" }, 
    null, null, null);

The Google Play Music content provider uses the following column names

• isAllLocal
• playlist_owner_name
• hasLocal
• hasRemote
• hasAny
• KeepOnId
• playlist_art_url
• playlist_share_token
• _id
• _count
• playlist_owner_profile_photo_url
• keeponSongCount
• playlist_description
• playlist_type
• playlist_id
• keeponDownloadedSongCount
• playlist_name

I would have never figured this out without this really helpful app Content Provider Helper

Try this.

String[] proj = {MediaStore.Audio.AudioColumns.TITLE,MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST,MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID};
Uri gMusicUri = Uri.parse("content://com.google.android.music.MusicContent/audio");
Cursor cursor = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver()
            .query(gMusicUri,
                    proj, null, null, null);
