> **NOTE**
>
> - The APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
> - The APIs of this module are deprecated since API version 9 and will be retained until API version 13.
> - Some APIs are changed as system APIs and can be used only by system applications. Use  [@ohos.filemanagement.userFileManager](js-apis-userFileManager.md) instead.
> - The APIs for selecting and storing media assets are still open to common applications. Use [@ohos.file.picker](js-apis-file-picker.md) instead.

## 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.

**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.|

**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);
```

## mediaLibrary.getMediaLibrary

getMediaLibrary(): 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 FA model.

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

**Return value**

| Type                         | Description      |

## MediaLibrary

### 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**
> 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).

**Required permissions**: ohos.permission.READ_MEDIA

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

| callback | AsyncCallback<[FetchFileResult](#fetchfileresult7)> | Yes  | Callback invoked to return the file retrieval result set.|

**Example**

```js
async function example() {
  let fileKeyObj = mediaLibrary.FileKey;
  let imageType = mediaLibrary.MediaType.IMAGE;
  // Create options for fetching the files of the image type.
  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;
    }
    // Obtain the total number of files in the result set.
    const count = fetchFileResult.getCount();
    // Check whether the number is less than 0. If yes, the API call fails.
    if (count < 0) {
      console.error('get count from fetchFileResult failed, count: ' + count);
      return;
    }
    // Check whether the number is 0. If yes, the API call is successful, but the result set is empty. Check whether the options for fetching the files are correctly set and whether the corresponding files exist on the device.
    if (count == 0) {
      console.info('The count of fetchFileResult is zero');
      return;
    }
    console.info('Get fetchFileResult successfully, count: ' + count);
    // Obtain the first file in the result set in asynchronous callback mode. If there are a large number of files, use getAllObject() instead.
    fetchFileResult.getFirstObject(async (error, fileAsset) => {
      // 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();
        console.info('fileAsset.displayName ' + i + ': ' + fileAsset.displayName);

Commits the modification on the file metadata to the database. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

> **NOTE**
> Since the SDK of API version 10, **audio** does not have the **orientation** attribute. Therefore, the **orientation** attribute of the audio resource cannot be modified by **commitModify()**.

### open<sup>8+</sup>

open(mode: string, callback: AsyncCallback&lt;number&gt;): void

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

**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.

**Required permissions**: ohos.permission.READ_MEDIA or ohos.permission.WRITE_MEDIA

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

**Parameters**

| Name     | Type                         | Mandatory  | Description                                 |

| callback | AsyncCallback&lt;number&gt; | Yes   | Callback invoked to return the FD of the file opened.                           |

**Example**

```js

  let mediaType = mediaLibrary.MediaType.IMAGE;
  let DIR_IMAGE = mediaLibrary.DirectoryType.DIR_IMAGE;
  const path = await media.getPublicDirectory(DIR_IMAGE);
  const asset = await media.createAsset(mediaType, 'image00003.jpg', path);
