### MIME_TYPE

    public static final String MIME_TYPE

The MIME type of the media item.

This is typically defined based on the file extension of the media item. However, it may be the value of the `format` attribute defined by the Dublin Core Media Initiative standard, extracted from any XMP metadata contained within this media item.

Note: the `format` attribute may be ignored if the top-level MIME type disagrees with the file extension. For example, it's reasonable for an `image/jpeg` file to declare a `format` of `image/vnd.google.panorama360+jpg`, but declaring a `format` of `audio/ogg` would be ignored.

This is a read-only column that is automatically computed.
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a `ContentProvider` through a `ContentValues` or `Cursor` object. The values stored in this column are `Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_STRING` .

Constant Value: "mime_type"

### PARENT

    public static final String PARENT

The index of the parent directory of the file
This constant represents a column name that can be used with a `ContentProvider` through a `ContentValues` or `Cursor` object. The values stored in this column are `Cursor#FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER` , and are read-only and cannot be mutated.

Constant Value: "parent"
