How can I rename a video gotten from android mediastore?

How can I rename a video gotten from mediastore without deleting or corrupting it?

I tried using this code gotten from a similar question but it deletes or corrupts the video whose name I changed.

String title = editTextTitle.getText().toString().trim(); 
video.setTitle(title);
File parentFile = videoFile.getParentFile();
if (parentFile != null) {
String path = parentFile.getAbsolutePath(); 
String extension = videoFile.getAbsolutePath(); extension = extension.substring(extension.lastIndexOf(".")); 
String newPath = path + "/" + title + extension; 
File newFile = new File(newPath); 
boolean rename = videoFile.renameTo(newFile); if (rename) {
ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver(); resolver.delete(MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external"), MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[]{videoFile.getAbsolutePath()}); 
Toast.makeText(context, "renamed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT). show(); 
  } 
}

Finally solved it

        textViewRename.setOnClickListener(v1 -> {
            String title = editTextTitle.getText().toString().trim();
            video.setTitle(title);
            String extension = videoFile.getAbsolutePath();
            extension = extension.substring(extension.lastIndexOf("."));
            ContentValues values = new ContentValues(2);
            values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE, title);
            values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, title + extension);
            context.getContentResolver().update(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values,
                    MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[]{videoFile.getAbsolutePath()});
            if (videoOptionListener != null) {
                videoOptionListener.onEdit();
            }
            dialogRenameVideo.dismiss();
        });
