I'm trying to play an mp3-file: beep.mp3

Winamp info box:

Code: Select all

Size: 3600 bytes
Header found at: 256 bytes
Length: 0 seconds
MPEG-1 layer 3
128kbit, approx. 8 frames
44100Hz Joint Stereo
CRCs: Yes, Copyrighted: No
Original: No, Emphasis: None

Code:

Output:

Code: Select all

MediaPlayer.onError: what=1 extra=0

Now does anyone know what the hell 'what' means?
That is - does anyone have any idea about the meaning of these method params, what and extra?

I would suggest




I couldn't find any details on the errors listed from the onErrorListener().
I don't know if this will help, but I found using

MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.beep);
to
MediaPlayer.create(YOUR_CLASS.this, R.raw.RESOURCE);

if it's a mp.prepareAsync() then i'm nor sure what problem is.

Although the media player may be able to play a single sound one time, it still means it's unusable for any application that hopes to make any serious use of sound. You don't know when the sound has stopped, you can't tell how many times you'll be able to play the sound before the player crashes. I still haven't seen any solid solution on this, I've decided to ignore use of the media player until it's fixed in some distant android release. If anyone DOES have a complete solution, that'd be great to know of.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, JaydeRyu.

prepare() throws an IOException - I tried that one first, but there was no explanation-text with the IOException. That's why I tried prepareAsync(), because then you can attach an OnErrorListener, which at least gives the clue, that what was wrong ... was 1

I'm creating & preparing the MediaPlayer in my onCreate() in my main Activity, so specifying the class name in front of this should be redundant, but I'll try it anyway ...

Sorry wasn't completely awake earlier. Don't use mp.prepare(). It didn't work for me. I did eventually get a sound file running from the resource.


This is all it takes to get my .wav file working.

LOL, you were right, JaydeRyu: Don't prepare the MediaPlayer (like the manual says), just start it.

And to replay a sound, re-create the MP - you can't use the same object, which already played the sound. Wierd.

I met the NullPointerException too.
And I change the <Button id="@+id/cmd_play" to <Button android:id="@+id/cmd_play" in the "main.xml" file.
It works.
Hope it helps;

I have tried prepareAsync() instead of prepare() and it works fine.

Hi, i am trying to do a media player in android. Now i can play songs from an URL, i download the .mp3 file to a temp file and play it. The problem is that after listening a few songs the emulator crashes and restart by it itselft, it doesn´t show any error.

If anyone can help i really appreciate, thanks

That sounds like the same problem markww described - that the emulator just crashes without errors after playing media sometimes. Wait for a new release

Hi all,

There is a really good tutorial of how to play music from an Url here

http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?p=8319#8319.

Try that and i hope you can solve your problems, it works for me.

I was capable to play sound in windows an Mac but I haven't try it on Linux.

Hi guys,

Can anyone of you help me with this thing:
I have an Activity which plays an .mp3, i added a SeekBar and now i want to add a label to indicate the time reached in the play. This is the code:

The progress of the SeekBar is well refreshed, but the label remains 00:00 (the value set in onCreate method). When i stop the file rendering it prints well the string, but while playing the text label isn't changed.
Can anyone of you help me pls!

PS: I'm a beginner in JAVA / Android, so any kind of help is usefull
