MediaStore returns null when querying for DISPLAY_NAME

In some rare situations, MediaStore returns null when trying to query for MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns.DISPLAY_NAME using the following code snippet

String displayName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns.DISPLAY_NAME));

I guess it might be related to a file name, since it is only reported on a few devies. However I assume that file display names can't be null, so it is a bit weird that MediaStore returns null. Has anybody experienced a similar problem?

We have the same problem on one device.

If the DISPLAY_NAME is null the TITLE can be used.

String displayName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns.DISPLAY_NAME));
if (displayName == null) {
    displayName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns.TITLE));
}
