Is there someone can help me on how to make an internet radio on android..
U can give me a suggestion on how to make it or may be a source code if you have it..
I'm just a beginner on this side, so I meet a lot of problem on writing android program..
thx..

Hello

I would like some ideas in that direction too. I've tried several methods so far, and most of them worked with normal remote mp3 files, but none of them with radio streams (both aac and mp3)

Thanks

I thought playing shoutcast radio was possible?!

yeah, i thought too .. but simply using the media player with the radio uri doesn't work. Belive me, i've tried stuff for a few days now ..

hi there all,

it works

i hv been workling on radio app
and it is posible to run radio app


everything runs just perfect
but there is just 1 problem

its occur wen buffering happens

i mean

buffering starts, radio starts simultaneously, but due to internet connection speed, buffering gets hault,the main problem is, i am not able to keep playing the radio after buffering is done,

it should be automatic, like in utube


so wat i didi is i put one button beside it,
wen buffering stops, i hv to hit that button, than only i m able listen radio again

i hope i m very clear,about wat i am saying...


any suggestions, would be appreciated.


Thanks And Regards

Hmm, that means you can play an mp3-url? Can you post this link, as I am not able to play any mp3 stream yet. Or how you implemented it? For your problem, i have a suggestion. There is the MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener, that is called whenever something changes in the buffering status. Also the amount of buffered data is given. So you could execute the action of the button automatically when buffering is 100% or something like that.

Cheers

i know this is not the right place to ask this question but anyways...


is there any way, to knw the that phone is currently connected to internet or not.
like radio app need to be connected to internet,in order to play streams.

when, user starts the application, the application itself should check whether it is connected to internet or not, that it should go forword.
any help will be appreciated

Hehe, much questions for a single thread:

First:
I wasn't able to make the tutorial running. But it looks like the tutorial is for an application that streams a whole file from a webserver, but not an ongoing live stream as you have to provide the filesize when starting the custom mediaplayer. Were you able to play an ongoing live stream? Would be nice if you share some code or tell me how you did it.

Second:
All my tests with m3u and pls files didn't work, so i think it is not possible to play them. It's anoying that there are so few informations about supported media types.

Third:
You could check if the Google server on www.google.com is available. If not it gives you an exception.

Fourth:
First, you have to implement the interface MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener into your activity. Then you have to make a method looking like the following:



Then, before you start the mediaplayer (mediaplayer.start()), you have to bind the OnBufferingUpdateListener to the mediaplayer:



From now on, everytime something changes in the buffering status, the onBufferingUpdate-method will get called and you the code in there will be run. You can check there how much data is already buffered and react on that.
Check the mediaplayer sample in the ApiSample Code of the SDK. There in the Videoplayer sample it is done exactly like that (it's similar to use with audio).
Am I clear?:-)
