Getting reports that mp3 files <= 0.34 secs in length, are not played (or, at least, inaudible) on the Droid X. Works fine on other devices I've tried (e.g. Nexus One, Hero, G1)
All files longer than 0.34 secs are working fine. I've tested this with about 100 files (mixture of short and long) and the correlation is 100%.

I have followed the steps to create my media player object but I cant understand why it is not playing the music track. I used the following code...
but no sound is playing through the emulator, and furthermore when i check the method mp.isPlaying() it returns false. What have I missed?
How do I get the default ringtone to play? I've tried using SoundPool (preferred method) and MediaPlayer to play it but I'm getting nowhere. I've done so many dumb things, I'll just include the last fail. In the following snippet: String ringtone = Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI.getPath(); SoundPool ringPhone = new SoundPool(1, AudioManager.STREAM_RING, 0); int soundID = ringPhone.load Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI.getPath(), 1); ringPhone.play(soundID, 0.99f, 0.99f, 1, 0, 1.0f);
loads but plays nothing. When I display Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI.getPath(), it's returning /system/ ringtone
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?................
I am maintaining a streaming music player, and I'm running into a similar problem as http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Android/forum/114391/_/593575
My player stop after roughly 1-2 minutes, and there are no log messages except for "I/AudioHardwareQSD( 52): AudioHardware pcm playback is going to standby" just after the playback stops.
This happens when I run it on the Nexus One over 3G. It does not happen over Wifi, and it does not happen on my HTC Hero with android 1.5 over 3G.
Do you guys have any hints on how to debug this? Is it e.g. possible to monitor the memory available to the media player object?
is there a way to find the 'noise produced' by a currently playing sound (MediaPlayer) -Like in many music editor software you import a song and it does a graphical layout of the song -like a graph with it higher up at louder bits. Hard to explain. But there must be a way to do this on android...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I need to use MediaPlayer to play some sounds, as they were too large in size for the SoundPool class.
The constructor takes a single sound file. I have, potentially, around 20 files that I want to play, randomly and instantly, like sounds in a game.
Do I have to create a new MediaPlayer object for each sound? i.e...
MediaPlayer mp1 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound1); MediaPlayer mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound2); MediaPlayer mp3 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound3); MediaPlayer mp4 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound4);
That seems expensive...
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.

I get an error saying, this file type is not supported. Obviously the error is self describing by why did Android stop supporting these file. What am I supposed to do now? if these files are DRM free why would Android have a problem playing them. do they want to push their own music service. If so, thats fine, but thats not even out yet. Most of my searches on this topic come up unanswered. ALSO, when I go to play a song in mSpot, it starts to download and then it says "There was an error during song playback" I can play the song on the mspot website, but not through the app. Anyone else a little peeved by this update for these reasons?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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:........
I think I should know this, but my mind has gone blank. I'm making an app that has a few hundred small sound files and I want it to play a certain file dependent on a String I pass to the function. Where I hit the brick wall is getting the resId of the sound file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to play a playlist I get using the MediaStore provider. However, when I try playing a playlist nothing happens. Can a MediaPlayer play a playlist (m3u file) and do I need to set the first track to play? This is my test code in the onCreate() method:
Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
if(uri == null) { Log.e("Uri = null");
} String[] projection = new String[] { MediaStore.Audio.Playlists._ID,
MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.NAME, MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.DATA };
Cursor c = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(c == null) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
R.string.alarm_tone_picker_error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return; } if(!c.moveToFirst()) { c.close();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.alarm_tone_picker_no_music,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); return; } c.moveToFirst(); try {
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(); player.setDataSource(c.getString(2));
player.start(); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
I have turned on every volume stream.
I have a requirement where I need to play an audio file in receiver mode(earpiece).I am not sure whether higher versions of Android SDK supports this receiver mode.I went through some links which said about 1.5/1.6 having changes in these Audio APIs and hence not sure.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey, I have a problem with android programing when I try to record and then play the file that was just recored. I can both record and play the sound but the quality stinks. Its not just bad is really hard to listen to and sound abit like its a computer generated voice. I use the andriod SDK-emulator. The code that sets up the recording looks like this;
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.RAW_AMR);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(path);
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();
And the code playing the file later looks like this;
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.reset();
mp.setDataSource(path); mp.prepare(); mp.start();
I don't know what part that makes the audio file sound really bad or if its just the emulator that makes it bad and that it would work on a real phone.
I have a button that plays an audio file on its click listener. If the button is clicked again and again while the audio file is being played then the app crashes. What's the solution?
Here is some code for reference...
I've come to the conclusion, after trying several different file managers, music players and playlist organisers, that it simply isn't possible to choose the order in which music will be played. I have two folders of mp3 files, both of which contain track numbers on every file, but, when I try to create a playlist, it just ignores the track numbers and plays the files in alphabetical order. I have read several files explaining how to edit the order of a playlist all of which refer to options which don't exist on my phone.
It's running android 4.1.1
This seems such a basic requirement for a music player that it seems impossible that it's been overlooked and yet that seems to be the case.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThis time I wanted to play some media , a WMV file, from FOXDIGITALCOPY, and it seems Xperia doesnt support it - atleast that's what the FOXDIGITALCOPY software tells me when I tried to sync up the media from my PC.
Also, this file doesnt even show up on the mediascape screen though I copied into the videos folder where other videos are saved.
I tried to play a more smaller and simpler file - the wildlife HD video sample from Windows - which is again a WMV file.
This time, Xperia tries to play it, but the video only comes up as stills while the audio plays as normal.
I've been watching my battery life recently as I hate my phone dying during the middle of the day and was wondering if battery life would be affected by playing large music files?
I listen to spotify quite a bit and haven't really noticed my battery severely affected by playing music for a long time but this week I was listening to a podcast which was 160MB (2Hr music podcast if you were wondering) and my battery life plummeted. This would also correlate then to why my battery life plummets when listening to other large podcasts.
