View 3 Replies View RelatedI just started with creating my own media player application by looking at the code samples given in Android SDK. While I am trying to play a local media file (m.3gp), I am getting IOException error :: error(1,-4).
package com.mediaPlayer;
import java.io.IOException;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;...........
Is there any way to let my app know whenever a media file is inserted or deleted from the sdcard.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an application that will record and play audio files. Some of the audio files are downloaded using simple standard http downloads using httpclient. It worked like a charm for a long time. Now all of a sudden I cannot play the files I download. It fails with this stack. I store the files on the SD Card and I experience the problem both on a handset and a USB connected device. I have checked that the downloaded file is cool on the server, and I can play it without any issues. These are the code snippets I use ( I know that recordingFile is a valid path for the file).
// inside the activity class
private void playRecording() throws IOException{
File recordingFile = new File(recordingFileName);
FileInputStream recordingInputStream = new FileInputStream(recordingFile);
audioMediaPlayer.playAudio(recordingInputStream);
}
Here is the media player code:
// inside my media player class which handles the recordings
public void playAudio(FileInputStream audioInputStream) throws IOException {
mediaPlayer.reset();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(audioInputStream.getFD());
mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.start();
}
Here is the exception:
E/MediaPlayerService( 555): offset error
E/MediaPlayer( 786): Unable to to create media player
W/System.err( 786): java.io.IOException: setDataSourceFD failed.: status=0x80000000

W/System.err( 786): at net.xxx.xxx.Downloads$1.onClick(Downloads.java:135)
I have tried seeking some answer of the offset error, but not really clear what this issue might be. I download the file with this code:
public FileOutputStream executeHttpGet(FileOutputStream fileOutputStream) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
try { // Execute HTTP Post Request
httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
int status = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
// we assume that the response body contains the error message
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
ByteArrayOutputStream ostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
httpResponse.getEntity().writeTo(ostream); fileOutputStream = null;
} else { InputStream content = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; int len = 0;
while ( (len = content.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
fileOutputStream.write(buffer,0, len);
} fileOutputStream.close();
content.close(); // this will also close the connection }
} catch (ClientProtocolException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace();
fileOutputStream = null; } catch (IOException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e2.printStackTrace();
fileOutputStream = null;
} return fileOutputStream;
}

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any support for avi and other media formats except mp4 and 3gpp? If there is no support may I develop a support through correct the program? Will that be too difficult ?I don't know where to put my hands into first, should I correct programs in opencore first or should I just correct programs in directory frameworks/base/include/ media . I want to have a clear mind how I can achieve my goal, I need a roadmap to guide me how to do it.
I am trying to get familiar with the SDK 1.0 now. another question, my chip is from freescale and it supports hardware codecs of mpeg4, h.263 and h.264, I don't know whether I can change the program or the architecture of mediaplayer to utilize my hardware codecs instead of software codecs provided by android opencore. I once implement an mplayer to my platform, there is problems about sync of audio and video due to the quality of my chips(CPU can support software codecs but is not fast enough to make sure sync of audio and video), So I am worried about when the android is implemented, there would also be the same problem, and for this reason, I am thinking whether I can utilize my hardware codecs for mediaplayer.
I am trying to open an image edit it and save it back. And i am using the below code, mScanner = new MediaScannerConnection(this, new MediaScannerConnection.MediaScannerConnectionClient() { public void onMediaScannerConnected() { mScanner.scanFile (fileName, null /* mimeType */); }

View 4 Replies View RelatedI push a audio file named "music.aac" into SD card, and then execute "Media Scanner" application or re-start the device. I found that media scanner didn't process ".aac" file, so the "music.aac" file doesn't exist in music player. But Android supports AAC/AAC+/eAAC format.So who know the reason that the ".aac" file doesn't be processed by media scanner.

The preferences are inflated from xml.I managed to create and read custom xml attributes for EditTextPreference, ListPreference and CheckBoxPreference by creating custom classes which inherit from the respective preference class.My problem is that I can't do this for the PreferenceScreen class, as it is a final class. So my question is: Is there any way I can read the custom attributes of a PreferenceScreen?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to define an attribute value of a height attribute, for example, relative to its parent's height. For instance, I want the linear_layout's height to be 2/3 of its FrameLayout parent. I have a FrameLayout with two linear_layouts. The first linear_layout fills the entire FrameLayout and the second linear_layout overlaps the first but only 2 / 3 of its height.

I have a simple horizontal linear_layout with bunch of image views in it. the trick is that the views have different widths, relative to the size of their parent (the linear layout). I set the layout's weightSum to a 100 and the layout_weight to let's say 10 of one view and 15 of the other, on so on. And it did not work. I also tired using float values setting the weightSum to 1.0 and the layout_weight of the image views to 0.2 and 0.3 and so on. But it didn't work either. I did search this group for any references to the weightSum but found nothing. Any ideas how to handle it?
