async function example() {
let AlbumNoArgsfetchOp = {
selections: '',
selectionArgs: [],
};
const albumList = await media.getAlbums(AlbumNoArgsfetchOp);
const album = albumList[0];
album.albumName = 'hello';
album.commitModify((err) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Failed ');
return;
}
console.log('Modify successful.');
})
}
```
