. My video model has name
, authorName
, authorImageUrl
, videoDescription
and every time I download a video, I store the video info in the SharedPreference
so that I can list all the videos with their description in the HistoryActivity
. I am using video’s name
property as an ID to connect the video with its description I stored in the SharedPreference
. However, when user changes the name of the video using other apps, I am losing the ID.
So the question: Is there any way that I can use as an ID for video file or any other file type?Adam Powell

and store it alongside the name and other metadata, then always refer to a video by its uuid, not by its name. The uuid will never change for a given downloaded file.minucha
