Other MediaStore Changes

There have been a few other MediaStore changes of note in Android 10.

Removed Fields

A bunch of fields from MediaStore.MediaColumns were removed, including ORIENTATION, DURATION, and DATE_TAKEN. If your app has been querying on those columns, they may no longer be available to you.

MediaStore.Downloads

There is a new collection, called MediaStore.Downloads. This appears to map to the Downloads/ directory on external storage. However, it is largely undocumented.
