Query the android Mediastore for Artist names of Music files
<p>I'm torn about how to implement this because Content Provider URI querys do not support the simple SQL "DISTINCT" query method to return a cursor to the Artists of the songs in the mediastore, removing any duplicate entries.</p>

<p>I can query and get a cursor to all the artists, I'm just torn as to how to remove the dupes, or simply not show them.</p>

<p>I've tried using matrixcursor to construct a new cursor with the dupe entries removed, but it's slow (build an array of artists, if in that array don't copy to the new matrixcursor, etc.)</p>

<p>Can anyone recommend a better solution, or point me in the proper direction??</p>

<p>I've also thought about pre-loading the information i need into an array of objects - I'm just concerned with memory overhead in my application.</p>

<p>Thank You for any help you may provide.</p>
