public ArrayList<Song> scanAllSongsOnDevice(Context c)
    {
        ContentResolver musicResolver = c.getContentResolver();
        Uri musicUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
        String col[] ={android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID};
Cursor musicCursor = musicResolver.query(musicUri, null, null, null, null);


        if (musicCursor != null && musicCursor.moveToFirst())
        {
            // clear  list to prevent duplicates
            songsList = new ArrayList<>();

            //get columns
            int titleColumn = musicCursor.getColumnIndex
                    (android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE);
            int idColumn = musicCursor.getColumnIndex
                    (android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID);
            int artistColumn = musicCursor.getColumnIndex
                    (android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST);
            int isMusicColumn = musicCursor.getColumnIndex
                    (MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC);
            int duration = musicCursor.getColumnIndex
                    (MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION);

            //add songs to list
            do
            {
                String filePath = musicCursor.getString(musicCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA));
                // check if the file is a music and the type is supported
                if (musicCursor.getInt(isMusicColumn) != 0 && filePath != null && (FileExtensionFilter.checkValidExtension(filePath)) && musicCursor.getInt(duration) > 0)
                {
                    int thisId = musicCursor.getInt(idColumn);
                    String thisTitle = musicCursor.getString(titleColumn);
                    String thisArtist = musicCursor.getString(artistColumn);
                    Song song = new Song();
                    song.setId(thisId);
                    if(!thisArtist.equals("<unknown>"))
                    {
                        song.setArtist(thisArtist);
                        song.setTitle(thisTitle);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        song.setArtist("");
                        song.setTitle("");
                    }
                    song.setSongPath(filePath);
                    File file = new File(filePath);
                    song.setFileName(file.getName().substring(0, (file.getName().length() - 4)));
                    songsList.add(song);
                }
            }
            while (musicCursor.moveToNext());
        }
        else  // if we don't have any media in the folder that we selected set NO MEDIA
        {
            addNoSongs();
        }

        musicCursor.close();

        if(songsList.size() == 0)
        {
            addNoSongs();
        }

        Collections.sort(songsList, new Comparator<Song>()
        {
            @Override
            public int compare(Song song, Song song2)
            {
                int compare = song.getTitle().compareTo(song2.getTitle());
                return ((compare == 0) ? song.getArtist().compareTo(
                        song2.getArtist()) : compare);
            }
        });

        return songsList;
    }

You need to modify your audioCursor like

audioCursor = audioResolver.query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null,MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA + " like ? ",
            new String[] {"%YOUR_SPECIFIC_FOLDER_NAME%"},  null);

Hope it will help you...

Thanks

public ArrayList<File> findSong(File root) {

        ArrayList<File> al = new ArrayList<File>();
        File[] files = root.listFiles();    // All file and folder automatic collect

        for (File singleFile : files) {
            if (singleFile.isDirectory() && !singleFile.isHidden()) {
                al.addAll(findSong(singleFile)); //Recursively call
            } else {
                if (singleFile.getName().endsWith(".mp3")) {
                    al.add(singleFile);
                }
            }
        }
        return al;
    }

onCreate:

final ArrayList<File> mySongs = findSong(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory());

        items = new String[mySongs.size()];

        for (int i = 0; i < mySongs.size(); i++) {
            //  toast(mySongs.get(i).getName().toString());
            //  items[i] = mySongs.get(i).getName().toString();
            items[i] = mySongs.get(i).getName().toString().replace(".mp3", "");
        }

Change your filePath variable to this:

String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/music";

Firstly you need to add the data of you songs to system's media store by MediaScanner.

    String scanDir = null;
    if (Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
        scanDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()
                + File.separator + "music";
    } else {
        // sdcard is not available
    }
    MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(getApplicationContext(), 
            new String[] { scanDir },
            new String[] { "audio/*" }, 
            new OnScanCompletedListener() {

                @Override
                public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
                }
            });

This will send a broadcast intent to framework, the framework will scan the directory you specify and add the scanned result to system media store database.

After that, you can access the data by contentresolver like the code you pasted.
