Android :: MediaPlayer.start - Doesnot Work Fine After Calling MediaPlayer.seekTo - 0
Apr 27, 2009I 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:

Android :: More AsyncTask - Simultaneous Downloads
Sep 10, 2010Implementing a service to handle connection changes and downloads. The service handles a queue of AsyncTasks, each representing a "download task". This way, we can cancel/pause tasks when connection drops, and also restore them when connection is reestablished. Since the threads AsyncTasks are run are not deterministic, how many ATs should I execute() at the same time?
I've read that I shouldn't reuse tasks. How can I achieve this pause->resume functionality then? Should I tell the thread to sleep? Should I make a no-op while if connection is down? I was trusting the cancel(true) method, which I've read is not reliable either.
My main DownloadTask is a subclass of AsyncTask that returns a new AsyncTask to be called when the connection is restored.

Jan 28, 2009I am working on an art project with several other people that involves simultaneity and photography. We want to coordinate a series of events involving simultaneous photographs based on the Android system.
In simple terms, here is what we are proposing. Someone writes an app for Android Phone/Camera that makes the camera take a photograph at a predetermined time so that many thousands of people all take a simultaneous photograph. The art involved here is not only the synchronizing of the event to approximate simultaneity but also making "social networking" into an element of an art project.
Android :: Simultaneous Http Requests
Jan 13, 2010Is there a limit on the number of simultaneous http requests of the form:
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
I'm interested in any official limit as well as practical ones.
(In a previous life, you had to dig deep to discover that WinMo only allowed three WebRequests to be open at a time.)
Let's say I have a list of 20 files to download on a background thread.
Should I: Download them one at a time, blocking the thread (but not the UI thread) to wait for each one? Start 20 threads each downloading one of the files?
I expect the answer may be somewhere in between, where I create C threads and work on the queue of N files, where C is a number like 3 or 4.
I suspect some of you here have already done some experimentation and know the magic number. In addition, I suspect there may be more efficient ways of doing what I'm doing than creating a new DefaultHttpClient for each request.
Android :: AsyncTask And Simultaneous Network Downloads

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Video With MediaRecorder
May 6, 2009Does anyone know how to use the MediaRecorder to API to capture video?
I am writing an application where I want to be able to capture video. I am trying to use the MediaRecorder API in 1.5, which is supposed to support video capture. However, there are no examples in the documentation on how to use this API for video (only for audio, and that works perfect). Basically what I do is the following:
CODE:...............
This gives me the following error: E/CameraInput( 37): No surface is available for display E/MediaRecorder( 7609): prepare failed: -2147483648
OK, so I have to have a surface to preview the video? Could be useful I guess, but not something I really need.
Could I use the VideoView widget for this, or is that only for playback?
Or am I supposed to use a SurfaceView to preview the video? I saw someone use that to capture images, but they used android.hardware.Camera to open the camera and capture a frame, and did not use MediaRecorder.
HOw to capture video, or even better have some example code?
Android :: Disable Simultaneous Search On Call Log & Contacts?
Oct 10, 2010I just installed the latest DialerOne (1.2.7.1) from the Market and find that the new simultaneous search of the call log and contacts is annoying in that it places call log entries at the top of the list, and tapping on them brings up the call history for that contact instead of listing their numbers so you can choose one to dial. I don't see any way to turn this off.Am I missing something?It would seem natural to have the ability to limit the search to the screen presented (search only the call log when the call log is displayed, or search only the contacts when contacts are displayed), but I have Dialer One display the call log by default, so that I can quickly call a recently called contact, or just start dialing to search, so this wouldn't work for me either.I would much rather go back to the way it used to be. Of course, I figured I didn't need to backup the previous version because after all, what could change? Now I have this, and the coloring of the digits on the keypad is weird, even after adjusting it as much as possible.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid : How Many Simultaneous Threads Can A Single App Execute In Parallel?
Oct 14, 2010I have an android app, where in a list view for each element in list, I load an image from web in a separate thread. So if there are 8 items displayed in list view, activity will try to fire 8 different threads, one for each list item to load an image. As you scroll down the list, the number of threads may increase if the previous threads haven't finished executing.
I am curious to know how many simultaneous threads can a single android app execute in parallel? Is there a limit? I wouldn't expect these threads to cause a ANR over slow internet connection as they are independent? But it seems that ANR does happen and may be it's because app/device run low on resources, so spawning a new activity in UI takes more than 5 seconds which results in an ANR?
Any clues to how I can make responsiveness better on a slow internet connection will be appreciated.
Android - How To Run Code Depending On Simultaneous Hard Key Press
Mar 19, 2014I am trying to implement a functionality when i press the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON simultaneously; i must be able to run a method code inside my Activity.
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
}
From my initial search; it seems that only one such key press event is acknowledged at a time in Android usng the onKeyUp method. Is it true?
In my Android phone, on simultaneously pressing POWER BUTTON as well as MENU BUTTON i am able to capture a screen shot.
Does this feature not acknowledge simultaneous key presses?
Android :: How To Get The Video Stream From MediaRecorder
Jul 10, 2009I want to get the stream and send it to server directly by using MediaRecorder.

Android :: MediaRecorder Buffers 1 Second Of Video
Aug 30, 2010I'm using MediaRecorder.setOutputFile(FileDescriptor fd) over a UNIX socket, so that local code on the device can see the encoded stream in real time (for video streaming out).
What I observed is that the encoder doesn't write encoded frames continuously, when they are produced, but by "bursts", exactly one second apart. I tried both containers (THREE_GPP and MPEG_4) and all three available codecs (MPEG_4_SP, H263, H264), the behavior is always the same. This one-second period is notably unrelated to framerate or bitrate, so it is not flushing by size; rather, it seems to be flushing by time (possibly to mask SD card write overheads ? Bummer, I 'm not using the SD here !). Is it a known limitation ? Is there a known workaround ?

Android :: MediaRecorder Documentation Example Does Not Work / Get Past This Exception?
Dec 8, 2009I am trying to use the MediaRecorder to record audio. I read the documentation at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.html on how to use the MediaRecorder and then tried the sample code given in the documentation for recording audio which is:
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); recorder.setOutputFile(PATH_NAME); recorder.prepare(); recorder.start(); // Recording is now started ... recorder.stop(); recorder.reset(); // You can reuse the object by going back to setAudioSource() step recorder.release(); // Now the object cannot be reused
However this code doesn't seem to work. The second line throws an exception when I execute the code. If I execute the following two lines of code:
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
It throws a RuntimeException on the call to setAudioSource with the exception message "setAudioSource failed." I am running this on my T- Mobile HTC G1 Android device which is running Android v1.6
I have searched a number of forums for entries about "MediaRecorder" or "setAudioSource" and have found that a number of other people have also posted that they are having a similar problem. However no one has responded to any of the posts which I found regarding this issue.
I would appreciate some help if anyone knows why the MediaRecorder is not working as documented or can provide information on how to get past this exception.
