[VIDEO-Tut] - Playing Media(mp3) on the emulator

Hey zaac,

perhaps you forgot to change the main.xml or didn't add the -useaudio in the :run:

(Run)-configurations.
If you use the debugger to locate the line, the NullPointerException gets thrown, would make it easier to help.

My main.xml is ok and i have make -useaudio

Now i can't launch, i have this on the console:

Code: Select all: [2007-12-03 10:08:04 - musicplayer] ------------------------------ [2007-12-03 10:08:04 - musicplayer] Android Launch!

Hey zaac,

that Error is really strange :!:

WARNING: Unknown device build id

Seems like you Emulator-Image is corrupt...
You could try the following (reset the emulator-rom): (click)

If that dosn't help: Final 'solution' redownload the whole SDK

It work now but it begin to play only if i click on the volume:

Could you do an archive zip witch the full project ?

Hello zaac,

please tell us how did you handle the Error you had before, so everybody can learn from it :!:

When you hit the Sound-Buttons, you will always hear a sound coming out :!:

(if you started with -useaudio)

Just because it is you

:The full source (without the song :!:

)

Hi,
What i hope was mp is not getting initialized. Because for me also the audio is not getting played but no error.

Hey guys,

somehow your MediaPlayer doesn't want to get initialized.
What you can try is the following:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
try {
    mp.setDataSource( "/path/to/your/mp3/everlast.mp3" );
} catch ( IOException e ) {
    Log.e( "ioexception", "",  e);
}
mp.prepare();
mp.start(); 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

You will need to push the mp3-file to the folder you specified in your code using adb push. (read more)

plusminus wrote:Console PUSHing files:
Emulator has to be open && Browse in Terminal/CommandLine to ".../android_sdk/tools"

Syntax: " adb push <local_source> <emulator_destination> "

MediaPlayer now at least should not become null :!:

If it still doesn't want to play the file, that could happen because for Securtiy-Reasons... (file not 'Associated' with your application)
:arrow:

Then try a file that was originally shipped with the emulator, like: "/system/media/audio/ringtones/em_ringtone1.mp3"

Hope this could solve it

Hello everybody!
I really thank you plusminus for your help. now i can listen music with the player. I really don't understand why it doesn't worked but in this way, i have no any errors. thank you!

I have had the same problem as you guys. Debugging shows that on

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.yourmp3);
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

mp is not created, so you get an null pointer exception when you try to call a method on mp, namely

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

mp.prepare();
Parsed in 0.033 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

I have tried doing an adb push, but the MediaPlayer does not want to read the file, and when I try to emulate an sd card, the file won't open either. I thought it was a permission problem so I went into the adb shell and chmod'ed the sound file, but that didn't help at all.

As a side note: When I point the media player at /system/media/audio/ringtones I can play all four ringtones, so I know my sound is working.

If you have any ideas on how to fix this, please tell me. I'm trying to make a media player and you can see how not being able to play sounds would be a problem for such an app.

switch to DDMS view and check if you see 'sdcard' in the File Explorer.

NumBeast · by **NumBeast** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 5:03 am

I know the SDcard works, I can view it with the file browser.

living_sword · by **living_sword** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:23 am

post the code. that would give us a better idea of the problem.

Asgard · by **Asgard** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 9:21 pm

I have the same problem with not initialized player (mp = null). If smd knows what is wrong with provided example, please let me know, because this all makes me crazy.

plusminus · by **plusminus** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 9:28 pm

Hello Asgard,

did you try the second possible solution too :?:

http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?p=580#580

If that doesn't work too, try a file that is shipped with the emulator. (Somewhere in System-Media-Ringtones...)
