Hello,
I am trying to play file which is stored in SDCARD in emulator. I have Linux O/S. So i need to provide command in run configuration.

I am providing following parameter.

-sdcard /usr/android/sdcard/mysdcard.iso -audio oss
[i]

The following is my code to play file.

try
{
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource("/sdcard/test_cbr.mp3");
mMediaPlayer.prepare(); // Giving error.
mMediaPlayer.start();

}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("exception="+e.toString());
}



It is giving me error when i am calling prepare(). Cans some one tell me what could be wrong in it ? Am i using wrong separator in run configuration ?

Here is the code, which i can able to play the video in windows xp


public class PlayVideo extends Activity {

VideoView videoHolder;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.playvideo);

Log.d("LBS: ","1");

/*final Button playVideo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.video1);*/

Log.d("LBS: ","2");
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

videoHolder = new VideoView(PlayVideo.this);
videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(PlayVideo.this));
setContentView(videoHolder);

Log.d("LBS: ","3");

videoHolder.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/test.3gp"));
videoHolder.requestFocus();
