is_pending update is crashing for samsung device in Android 11

Question

I'm facing a weird crash in the Samsung device only.

See the stacktrace below,

Fatal Exception: com.pilabs.musicplayer.tageditor.TagEditFailedException: Tag edit failed : Changing volume from /storage/3964-3431/Music/Bujji-MassTamilan.io.mp3 to /storage/emulated/0/Music/.pending-1608532169-Bujji-MassTamilan.io.mp3 not allowed

Where TagEditFailedException is my own Written Exception. Actual exception being,

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Changing volume from /storage/3964-3431/Music/Bujji-MassTamilan.io.mp3 to /storage/emulated/0/Music/.pending-1608532169-Bujji-MassTamilan.io.mp3 not allowed

More than anything, look for

Changing volume from /storage/3964-3431/Music/Bujji-MassTamilan.io.mp3 to /storage/emulated/0/Music/.pending-1608532169-Bujji-MassTamilan.io.mp3 not allowed

I debugged the code and found that the app is crashing when updating IS_PENDING before updating other metadata.

private fun updateNameChangesInAndroidDb(application: Application, editTrackTagInfo: EditTrackTagInfo) {

    val uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
            editTrackTagInfo.trackId.toLong())

    val contentValues = ContentValues()

    if (hasQ()) {
        contentValues.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_PENDING, 1)
        application.contentResolver.update(uri, contentValues, null, null)
    }

    contentValues.clear()
            
    if (hasQ()) 
       contentValues.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_PENDING, 0)

    with(editTrackTagInfo) {
        title?.let { it -> contentValues.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE, it) }
        album?.let { it -> contentValues.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM, it) }
        artist?.let { it -> contentValues.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, it) }
    }

    val rowsUpdated = application.contentResolver.update(uri, contentValues,
            null, null)

app crashes at

application.contentResolver.update(uri, contentValues, null, null)

while updating IS_PENDING to 1 in

if (hasQ()) {
    contentValues.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_PENDING, 1)
    application.contentResolver.update(uri, contentValues, null, null)
}

I don't understand why updating is_pending would change the volume from SD_Card to internal storage (/storage/emulated/0...).

• App crashes only on Android 11 devices. That too on Samsung device only. That too when the track I'm trying to edit is from SD-CARD.
• I have tried with Android 11 pixel devices and it works fine.
• The track which I'm trying to edit is in SdCard at location

/storage/3964-3431/Music/Bujji-MassTamilan.mp3

• I don't understand why while updating IS_PENDING to 1 in samsung android 11 device, root location of media is changing to internal storage

/storage/emulated/0/Music/...

Summary - App crashes only in Android 11 Samsung device when media-file is from SD-Card.
