I am working on the Eclipse Emulator and with SDK 1.0 Release 2. What I would like to do is to play a simple C note with with code. Does android provide the necessary interface to produce such note sounds? Is there a sound library and API I can readily use on the device (and emulator)?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have 5 mp3 files stored on the assets folder. The files are all 25 KB. I load the files using:
manager = context.getAssets();
this.inputStream = manager.openFd(fileName).createInputStream();
Whenever I try to play the files, the sounds are all messed up like they were mixed or something.
I've zip aligned the app already but with no results.
I have an application that I developed using the Android 1.1 SDK that I am trying to port to Android 1.5. In my application, I record a sound through the microphone and then do various things with it, including playing it back using a MediaPlayer object. My code works fine when I use the 1.1 target, but when I use a 1.5 target I get this error when setting up the player:
Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported error (1, -4) Couldn't setup MediaPlayer java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(Native Method) at org.byu.chum.AudioUtils.AudioRecording.stopRecording (AudioRecording.java:92) at org.byu.chum.SoundRecorder.Recorder$StopListener.onClick (Recorder.java:198)...
It seems like Android isn't liking the format of my media, but I don't know why, since I just recorded that very format on the Android device. Here's the code that is throwing the error:
player = new MediaPlayer();
try { player.setDataSource(recordFile.toString());
player.prepare(); } catch (IOException e) { Log.e("playRecording", "Couldn't setup MediaPlayer", e); }
I am unable to use the following to code to play multiple sounds/beeps simultaneously. In my onclicklistener I have added
... public void onClick(View v) { mSoundManager.playSound(1);
mSoundManager.playSound(2); } ...
But this plays only one sound at a time, sound with index 1 followed by sound with index 2. How can I play atleast 2 sounds simultaneously using this code whenever there is an onClick() event?
public class SoundManager {
private SoundPool mSoundPool;
private HashMap<Integer, Integer> mSoundPoolMap;
private AudioManager mAudioManager;
private Context mContext;
public SoundManager() {
} public void initSounds(Context theContext) {
mContext = theContext; mSoundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
mSoundPoolMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
mAudioManager = (AudioManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
} public void addSound(int Index,int SoundID)
{ mSoundPoolMap.put(1, mSoundPool.load(mContext, SoundID, 1));
} public void playSound(int index) {
int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);
} public void playLoopedSound(int index) {
int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, -1, 1f);
} }
Shown are a few lines of code. If I play a single sound, it runs fine. Adding a second sound causes it to crash.
private SoundManager mSoundManager;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.sos);
mSoundManager = new SoundManager(); mSoundManager.initSounds(getBaseContext());
mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.dit); mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.dah);
Button SoundButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.SoundButton);
SoundButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) { mSoundManager.playSound(1);
mSoundManager.playSound(2); } } ); }
I'm playing some MediaPlayer instances at the same time (4 or 5) but sometimes when I try to start a new media player it doesn't work and an error is shown on the log:
E/AudioFlinger( 1073): no more track names availlable E/AudioTrack( 1073): AudioFlinger could not create track, status: -12 E/AudioSink( 1073): Unable to create audio track E/VorbisPlayer( 1073): mAudioSink open failed
It also happens when there're only 3 or 2 MediaPlayer playing at the same time. What does it mean this error? How can I workaround with it? Actually checking the isPlaying() after the start() call does not seem very helpful as every call returns true. I've to say that every MediaPlayer is created once via MediaPlayer.create.
I have some pretty simple Soundboard applications on the Android Market that work flawless on an LG Ally, the Motorola Droid, and the Nexus One, but I recently received an e-mail from a user with the Motorola DroidX claiming that most of the sounds do not work. I've exchanged a few e-mails with him. He claims the Soundboard is the only application running, and he's double checked to make sure that the Media Volume wasn't set to minimum. I really don't have access to one either to play around with. The application isn't doing anything cosmic to play the sounds. Below is a code snippet. Any insights into what might be causing the hang up are greatly appreciated.
public void play(Sample sample) {
Log.v(TAG, "Playing: " + getString(sample.getButtonTextResId()) + " (" + sample.getSoundResId() + ")");
if (mPlayer != null) { mPlayer.stop(); mPlayer.release();
} MediaPlayer player = MediaPlayer.create(this, sample.getSoundResId());
mPlayer = player; if (player != null) { player.setVolume(1.0f, 1.0f);
player.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
@Override public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) { mp.release();
mPlayer = null; } } ); player.start(); } }

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just noticed a very unpleasant thing about the wildfire - while listening to music (or when playing any other sound), I can hear subtle hissing in the background. It is almost unnoticeable when I'm outdoors and there's noise outside, but it prevents me from listening more quiet music like jazz at home.
Can anything be done about it? Do you people also hear that (you have to be in complete silence and use decent headphones - the hissing is easy to notice as it disappears after 2 or 3 seconds after you pause music). I was so happy about my wildfire - I have 16gb sdcard so I thought it would make a great mp3 player.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have set up Eclipse with the Android plug-in, and the Android SDK. But I can't get my simple Hello World application to run in the emulator.
I am going through this Hello World tutorial. I have Installed a Platform, Created an AVD, Created a New Android Project, and Constructed the UI, but when I hit Run (and select Android Application from the menu that pops up), the Emulator starts up. It takes a while on the "ANDROID_" screen, then shows the shimmering Android logo for a while. But then it goes to the "unlock" screen. When I slide the lock to the right, it opens the Android home screen. I try looking for my app in the applications lists, but it is nowhere to be found.
can i get the source code for the simple map display on android emulator?

Is it possible to change the emulator's behavior to create lock files somewhere in /tmp (using some hash of image path as lock file name)? I am OK to try this myself: which repositories from https://android.git.kernel.org/ are necessary to rebuild the emulator alone, and where in the sources is the code responsible for image locks?
I need to run several emulator instances to test my application. When i try to run instances using emulator -data <path> option, the emulator crashes.
I got a MS Visual Studio window informing that emulator throws a "unhandled win32 exception".
The exception message in the debugger (MS Visual Studio 2008) is: "Unhandled exception at 0x77c4706c in emulator.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x03216848"
The emulator runs normally without "-data" option.
I am getting the following error when I try running my program in the emulator:
emulator: ERROR: the user data image is used by another emulator. aborting`
Is there a way to reload an Android application in the emulator without closing the emulator, saving any code changes, and running the emulator again? If I make even a simple change to the layout, it takes about 30 seconds by time I run it in Eclipse and Android "boots", and I can unlock the emulator to run the application. Is there any way to shorten this time when making changes, or is it something I just have to deal with?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the most recent version of Android for linux (android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz). I was trying to use the the Android Ant task(s) for packaging, building, and deploying my code. I should mention that I'm running AMD64, but have the 32-bit libraries installed. The Android Ant tasks are all broken.
First, the start-emulator task never gets the emulator running. It does get past starting adb, but then just sits there.
Second, the SDK is missing the aapt binary in the tools directory. So, the example notepad sample application will not even package correctly.
I have all the dependencies configured for Android. I can run it from the command line just fine.I assume the Ant code is out of sync with the recent SDK updates. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? At this point, I'm considering writing my own Python scripts to interact with the Android SDK. Ugh.
