Android :: How To Implement An Audio Player - Using MediaPlayer And MediaController
I want to create an Android application that is a client for an Internet radio station. And I want it look native to Android? But im confused with Android API logic and documentation. What i've got is that I need MediaPlayer and MediaController classes. Am I right, and is there any good example of AUDIO player for Android?
Especially, I'm very interested how to use MediaPlayer and MediaController classes together.
UPD:
Finally I've got the code, that does exactly what I want:

Android :: Streaming Audio From URL Using MediaPlayer?
I've been trying to stream mp3's over http using Android's built in MediaPlayer class. The documentation would suggest to me that this should be as easy as : MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.setDataSource(URL_OF_FILE); mp.prepare(); mp.start(); However I am getting the following repeatedly. I have tried different URLs as well. Please don't tell me that streaming doesn't work on mp3's. E/PlayerDriver( 31): Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported W/PlayerDriver( 31): PVMFInfoErrorHandlingComplete E/MediaPlayer( 198): error (1, -4) E/MediaPlayer( 198): start called in state 0 E/MediaPlayer( 198): error (-38, 0) E/MediaPlayer( 198): Error (1,-4) E/MediaPlayer( 198): Error (-38,0)

Android :: Playing Audio Stream Not Working Using MediaPlayer
I am trying to make a very simple radio player for Android and I cannot get the audio streaming to work. In my latest attempt it plays for about 1 second and stops for some streams and it doesnt work at all for some other streams. Logcat doesn't give much useful information to me. I am testing on HTC Hero (Android 1.5). If I hook the completion and buffer events I see the audio gets a complete event but it keeps buffering. Is there anything wrong with the code below? Should I be able to stream the the audio streams below? Is there a complete example somewhere of a working radio streaming?................

Android :: Correctly Set MediaPlayer Audio Stream Type
I'm trying to create a way to adjust volume settings for each of the different streams (media, notification, ringtone, etc) and have a way to preview the output sound level of each stream. I believe I have the correct implementation, but when I set the output stream type, there is no sound that plays. Here is the code that correctly plays the user's selected alarm sound: CODE:................. That commented out line is what is causing me problems. I would like to hear the alarm sound at the volume levels of the different audio streams, but when I include that line for STREAM_ALARM or any other audio stream, no sound at all plays.

Android :: Audio Files Return 0 From MediaPlayer.getDuration()
Some audio files return 0 from MediaPlayer.getDuration(), even though they're perfectly valid files that play ok and that players on Windows can find the duration of. There seem to be two different cases here: certain file types such as .wma and .wav always return 0 duration, and others only do so sometimes. I haven't been able to find any pattern in the latter case, but it does seem consistent per file. The music player displays 0:00 duration for these, so it's not just my code.

Android :: MediaPlayer Provides Wrong Duration On Audio Streaming
I am having the following problem: I am using Android's MediaPlayer to play an mp3 through an HTTP connection. The audio is played correctly, but the MediaPlayer returns an incorrect duration (calling mediaPlayer.getDuration() ). Depending on the mp3 the duration is either shorter or longer. The code that plays the audio is the following: mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this); mediaPlayer.setDataSource("a valid URL"); mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();............................

Android :: Mediaplayer - Stop Button And That Stops Audio From Playing
I have a activity which is called from another activity as an intent... This activity loads and starts playing a audio file. All is good - that much works. The activity also has a "stop" button and that stops the audio from playing - that is also fine. But how do I stop the file from playing if the user uses the back button to leave the activity without clicking on the "Stop" button?

Android :: Poor Audio Quality Captured From Microphone With MediaRecorder / Implement Them?
I've implemented "Audio Capture Setup and Start" example (http:// developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html) with small modification - the output format is MPEG_4 not THREE_GPP. The result - records with extremely poor audio quality. Could you help me to understand where is error and how is possible to do really good audio records with Android? I've done an experiment with Camcorder - standard Android application. Sound quality of the video is same poor. The audio signal is extremely low (quite). Is it "by design" or may be some hardware problem (T-Mobile G1)? I've found description similar problem here - http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-06/msg00752.html - "Microphone audio capture with emulator is of very poor quality". In my case this problem reproduces on the real device. Unfortunately I have not found answer. I read about some "custom" encoders.. but have not found any example how implement them.

Android :: MediaPlayer.start - Doesnot Work Fine After Calling MediaPlayer.seekTo - 0
I have a requirement to play several sounds many times in my game so instead of creating the MediaPlayer again and again I have called mp.seekTo(0) in onCompletion(mp) so that it will restart. Sometimes the sound is not audible from the device when I call mp.start () after setting mp.seekTo(0); but the player calls onCompletion() without playing any sound, this is observed randomly on most of the sounds My sounds are of short duration mostly less than a second. I am using a separate MediaPlayer for each sound (as I need this) - There are almost 28 sounds in my game so i will be creating 28 MediaPlayers. Below is the attached code for player Also If I try to play many sounds one after the other in a short period of time i get an error saying "no more track names available". can u tell Why this is happening...? check the below code: CODE:........

Android :: Playlist Based Audio Player
I am looking for an Android Audio Player that is based on a "now playing" playlist, like Amarok, Winamp or WMP. In relation with that playlist, I want buttons to add a song as the next song, or to add the song to the end of the playlist. Like the Rockbox firmware does it. Is there any app out there that works like this? I don't need any advanced features like lyrics, covers, etc, I just want to listen to music. In case there's nothing around, I'll even consider developing my own. Who needs synched lyrics if there's not even an "add next" option?

Android :: Good Player For Audio Books?
I'm using Meridian to listen to audio books, but I would sure love to find a player that let's me choose when to start listening. Meridian remembers where I left off in a book, but one slight bump and it goes back to zero. Sure would be nice to have it start at "minute 210" or wherever.

Android :: Why All Audio Formats Always Passed To Music Player?
I am writing a music player for esoteric music formats, and have defined mime types for them in my Manifest. However, the standard music player is always started even though it can't handle the format. Looking at logcat I see; : D/MediaScannerService( 688): IMediaScannerService.scanFile: / sdcard/download/Cybernoid.sid mimeType: audio/prs.sid : I/ActivityManager( 578): Stopping service: com.android.providers.media/.MediaScannerService : I/ActivityManager( 578): Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.VIEW data=file:///sdcard/download/ Cybernoid.sid type=audio/prs.sid flags=0x4000000 comp={com.android.music/com.android.music.MediaPlaybackActivity} } .. so it seems the component is explicitly set to the music player ? Is there any way around this ?

HTC Magic :: Audio Quality / MP3 Player
I am on the verge of signing a contract with vodafone for the magic but listening to music on my phone is quite a big factor (the other handset I was considering was the Nokia 5800 Xpress!) so I was just wondering if anyone had used the magic mp3 player yet and what they thought of the audio quality? It would be useful to know how it compares to the iphone because the mp3 player is not a feature that anyone has focused on in reviews (except for the fact that there is no 3.5mm jack).

HTC Incredible :: Best Audio / Media Player
I am looking for a media player - to play all kind of music formats, mp3, wav, etc. Also it would be good to have a player that have a simple search through folders capability to go to navigate to phone's internal memory. The player that comes with Incredible has the capability to search through folders in the internal memory, but I don't think it plays all formats. On the other hand I see that "market" place is full of different players, but all that I downloaded only search on SD card and does not have capability to navigate to internal storage. I know one of the simplest solutions would be to put all music on SD card, but heck we have 8Gb of internal storage why not to use it?

Android :: Audio Stops After Some Time From Video/Music Player
As mentioned audio stops after some random number of times when played from either Music/Video player. After some debugging, I found that the problem is: In "android_audio_output.cpp"->audout_thread_func() there is a call to wait(iAudioThreadSem->Wait()) just before the while(1) and it is waiting indefinitely for something. Can anybody tell me what is it waiting for and why is it not able to come out? From what I can understand, it is waiting for a signal (semaphore) but where is it expecting a signal from?

Media :: Player That Can Handle Videos With 5.1 Audio
I really want to know why I can not hear any sound whatsoever simply because the video uses 5.1ch aac instead of 2ch aac. The video part of mp4 plays perfectly, encoded to h.264. I would really like to know if there is any media player able to play these videos correctly without having to resort to any kind of re-encoding (a waste of time when the original encodes should play fine) or having to use special 5.1ch headphones (bulky and not practical to keep on hand all the time). Also, does anyone know if this might be corrected with Froyo 2.2? And last, all my videos that have 2ch audio play as they should, sound and all. Same codec settings were used.

HTC Desire :: Don't Put Audio Files In Media Player
I'm still trying to get to grips with the folder/filing system of the Desire's SD card. I have yet to put any of my own MP3's onto the phone but have put on a few short audio clips which I created at work. These were on the phone mainly so I could transport them home but I also occasionally play them from the phone. However I don't want them cropping up amongst music in the music player app/widget, but it seems no matter where I put them on the SD card they appear. The only exception is if I put them in media => ringtones which isn't ideal. Are there any other places where i can put them where they won't be found by the media player?

HTC EVO 4G :: Astro Player Beta For Low Audio Output On Headphones
Ok we all know that our evo music playback on headphones is ridiculously low especially if you coming from the iPhone, but today I found Astro player beta which have some good equalizer that can boots your audio output to new level,even louder than the iPhone 4 output with the same headphones,so try it out and keep in mind its still in beta stage so it force close a lot but it doesn't affect music playback when it does that.

Media :: Audio Book Or Music Player With Variable Speed
I love my new HTC Desire and the only thing lacking is a music player that plays at variable speed. I listen to a lot of audio books and my old Sansa Clip player gives the option of playing audio at a faster speed (so you can go finish a book faster).The normal android player doesn't seem to have this option. Is there another player that does?

Motorola Milestone :: Player Does Not Support This Type Of Audio File
I am getting the following error when I try to play some song using the standard "Music" App: "sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file" So far I have only had this happen on .ogg files. I can play some .ogg files with no problem but other will not play. Often there is one I can play and one I can't from the same album which I ripped from my CD in the same ripping session so the encoding parameters should be the same. Another weird thing is that I sometime can succeed in playing a song by finding it in OI File Manager and selecting it there. OI File Manager opens in in the "Music" App and it plays not problem, but I cannot open it from within "Music" App!

Motorola Droid :: Audio - Media Player Starts Playing By Itself
