Hello guys,

First thanks for all those tutorials!

I am starting to build my first app(hello world doesnt count ).
So the idea is an mp3 or aac streaming player, the problem is i do not know how to start.
Done some research but all of the solutions are for old android sdk(1.5)...

Does MediaPlayer have some ability to stream from a url and then play it?

Thanks!

What's wrong with using stuff from android 1.5? That jusst means it would be backwards compatible.

If a method has been deprecated, then you can see a plausible replacement for the method on the android documentation.

Done something, which of course doesn't work.
Code: MediaPlayer mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mPlayer.setDataSource("http://blablablah");
mPlayer.prepare();
mPlayer.start();

Error on second and third line: Unhandled exception type IOException.
Google says, Note: Also, IllegalArgumentException and IOException either need to be caught or passed on when using setDataSource(), since the file you are referencing may not exist.

Excellent Google documentation, which tells you nothing.

You need to put it in a try/catch block like so:
