> - The APIs of this module are deprecated since API version 9. For details about the substitute APIs, see the API description.

## Modules to Import

```js
import mediaLibrary from '@ohos.multimedia.mediaLibrary';
```

## mediaLibrary.getMediaLibrary<sup>8+</sup>

getMediaLibrary(context: Context): MediaLibrary

Obtains a **MediaLibrary** instance, which is used to access and modify personal media data such as audios, videos, images, and documents.

This API can be used only in the stage model.

> **NOTE**
> This API is deprecated since API Version 9. Use [getPhotoAccessHelper](js-apis-photoAccessHelper.md#photoaccesshelpergetphotoaccesshelper) instead.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Multimedia.MediaLibrary.Core

**Parameters**

| Name | Type   | Mandatory| Description                      |
| ------- | ------- | ---- | -------------------------- |
| context | Context | Yes  | Context of the ability.|

**Return value**

| Type                           | Description   |
| ----------------------------- | :---- |
| [MediaLibrary](#medialibrary) | **MediaLibrary** instance obtained.|

**Example (from API version 9)**

```ts
// Obtain a MediaLibrary instance. The instance obtained here is used in later.
const context = getContext(this);
let media = mediaLibrary.getMediaLibrary(context);
```

**Example (API version 8)**

```js
import featureAbility from '@ohos.ability.featureAbility';

let context = featureAbility.getContext();
let media = mediaLibrary.getMediaLibrary(context);

This API can be used only in the FA model.

> **NOTE**
> This API is deprecated since API Version 9. There is no substitute API.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Multimedia.MediaLibrary.Core

**Return value**

| Type                         | Description      |

### getFileAssets<sup>7+</sup>

getFileAssets(options: MediaFetchOptions, callback: AsyncCallback&lt;FetchFileResult&gt;): void 

Obtains file assets (also called files). This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

> **NOTE**
>
> - This API is deprecated since API Version 9. Use [getAssets](js-apis-photoAccessHelper.md#getassets) instead.
> - From API version 10, the albums represented by physical directories are replaced by logical albums, which allows multiple files in an album and presence of a file in multiple albums. This design, however, makes **parent**, **albumId**, **albumUri**, and **albumName** incompatible. They cannot be used as parameters of **MediaFetchOptions** in **getFileAssets()**. For details, see [changelogs-mediaLibrary.md](../../../release-notes/changelogs/OpenHarmony_4.0.8.2/changelogs-mediaLibrary.md).

  let imagesFetchOp = {
    selections: fileKeyObj.MEDIA_TYPE + '= ?',
    selectionArgs: [imageType.toString()],
  };
  // Obtain the files in asynchronous callback mode.
  media.getFileAssets(imagesFetchOp, async (error, fetchFileResult) => {
    // Check whether the result set of the obtained files is undefined. If yes, the API call fails.
    if (fetchFileResult == undefined) {
      console.error('get fetchFileResult failed with error: ' + error);
      return;

      // Check whether the first file is undefined. If yes, the API call fails.
      if (fileAsset == undefined) {
        console.error('get first object failed with error: ' + error);
        return;
      }
      console.info('fileAsset.displayName ' + '0 : ' + fileAsset.displayName);
      // Call getNextObject to obtain the next file until the last one.
      for (let i = 1; i < count; i++) {
        let fileAsset = await fetchFileResult.getNextObject();

Opens this file asset. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

> **NOTE**
> This API is deprecated since API Version 9. Use [open](js-apis-photoAccessHelper.md#open) instead.

**NOTE**<br>If a file is opened in 'w' mode, the returned file descriptor (FD) cannot be used to read the file. However, due to the implementation differences of file systems, some user-mode files opened in 'w' mode can be read by using FD. To perform the read or write operation on a file by using FD, you are advised to open the file in 'rw' mode. The write operations are mutually exclusive. After a write operation is complete, you must call **close** to close the file.
