Thanks for the tutorial.. Does anyone know the best way to get a playlist (m3u) file to play? I'm hoping to avoid dealing with playback issues like fwd/rew/pause etc, I just want to send the media player a list of files to play...
By default, the web browser doesn't seem to be able to handle an m3u file correctly. |

I can not hear sound, even if I hit the volume up/down button on emulator.
However, I can hear the mp3 using other mp3 player on my system.
does anyone have any clue on that?
Thanks a lot in advance

In your run configuration make sure you have:
-audio oss
According to the documentation the -useaudio parameter is enabled by default so you shouldn't need it.
Also, what threw me was the exception when using prepare(). Just use:
try {
mp = MediaPlayer.create(PlayMusic.this, R.raw.groovytune);
mp.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
You will need to call prepare() if you are looking to play the media file again.
Instructions for -useaudio and -audio here:
http://code.google.com/android/reference/emulator.html#startup-options
Instructions on how to use the media player here:
http://code.google.com/android/toolbox/apis/media.html
I'm running CentOS 5.2 with SDK 1.0 sr2.
Hope this helps! |

Hi, why when I call mediaplayer.stop() or mediaplayer.pause() is continues playing the sound?
E.g.:
| Java: |
mediaplayer = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.getInstance(), R.raw.musicmp3);
try {
mp.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mp.start();
|
If I call mediaplayer.stop() the music is not stopped. Why that?
Thanks! |

Reviving an old thread. I needed some help with the MediaPlayer class
I am using a MediaPlayer instance in order to stream audio files from an Internet location. The audio player is in a separate activity. The user can select from a list of audio files and come to this activity to play the audio.
Now the user might go back to the previous activity (with the list) and select another audio file. In this case, I want to stop any other audio that is playing and start playing the new audio which was selected.
I did find out how to know whether an audio is playing. We can do it by using an object of AudioManager and calling isAudioPlaying(). This will return a true if any audio is playing.
How do I stop an audio currently playing? I do not have an instance of the MediaPlayer object which was created to start the audio (coz the user has already left the activity once and has come back with a new object of the activity and thus a new instance of the MediaPlayer). Is there any way I can stop any audio playing without having to hold on to the MediaPlayer object?
Thanks. |

Hi lostInTransit! Have you already found the solution to this problem? I was also trying to stop a currently playing audio from a different application.
Thanks. |

Your code is great.... thanks.... 1 question though..
After stopping a song from playing, how do you restart the song? I click play again and it does not start. I have to exit and then restart to play.
thank you again. |

play again.
try this:
MediaPlayer mp=new MediaPlayer();
//stop media player
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
//start media player
mp.start();
//pause media player
mp.pause();

Hi, dont know if you guys made it work allready, but when you use MediaPlayer.Create();
you cant use prepare();, it is allready loaded on create....
so the right one is :
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.sound);
mp.start();
Hope its helps..... |

So I used your code and everything works fine.. except when I want to play the file again... What do I need to add/change to make it so when I press "Play" after pressing "Stop" to get the mp3 to play from the begining again? The only way I've been able to is to restart. I'm guessing it's because the mediaplayer is created during onCreate... Thanks for the help. |
