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...

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?
I want to know that can we stop playing sound or music of other application which actually plays the music from our application? Something like get the handle of MusicPlayer or AudioManager in our application and using this handle stop the currently playing sound.

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?
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 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...
I have this task: Need to play short (0.3-0.4 sec) sounds all the time. When sound is played, it should start again, etc. User can press button to reset sound - it should stop and lunch.
I did many tests. I tried to create 1 MediaPlayer, then do this: MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener complListener = new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener; code...
It works great on emulator and on device if I have eclipse+debugger on. When I disconnect debugger, I have very strange errors - sound can stop at all (till program restart), sound can start "repeating" (play 0.1-0.2 sec, then restart). Can someone please provide me some info about problem?
I'm just trying to play a local video that is a resource with the MediaPlayer class in the most simple way possible. I have confirmed that the video works with players that I download from the marketplace, so I'm assuming that's not the issue.
The problem is that I just get a black screen with no video. There is audio from the file playing though, so I know that the file resource is being accessed correctly, it's just not showing anything on the screen in the emulator.
The one other note is that at any time whenever I try to access getVideoWidth() or getVideoHeight() I get this (non-blocking) error:
ERROR/MediaPlayerService(24): getVideoSize returned -1
Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.SurfaceView; import android.view.SurfaceHolder; import android.media.MediaPlayer;
Code...
Why does my MediaPlayer
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.somemusic); mp.setLooping(true); mp.start();
stop, wenn I change the layout?
setContentView(R.layout.screenoptions);
and also suddenly in my game, the sound stops. What could be the reason?
And which one is better? MediaPlayer or SoundPool?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a python application (anki) running under ASE. It is a simple web server that uses the browser as a UI. My only issues are playing sound, which are stored locally. On the iphone, anki uses a command line app (play) to play the mp3 files. Unfortunately, there is no command line app that I can call that takes a filename as an arg and plays it. What are my options with android?
- write a sound service that sits and listens for a filename to play; possibly listening on a port for filename
- write an Java-app that I call from within python that forks off and loads a specified file, plays it and then exits. Can you call other java apps from ASE?
- wait till the browser supports the <audio> tag. I guess this is html5, but am unaware if this will be on android any time soon.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to tell if an app is currently using the speaker (playing music or generating other sounds)? Specifically, I'd like to detect if an alarm clock is going off (not only the one that comes with the system, but any alarm clock), but I'll settle for simply knowing if any sounds are coming out of the speaker.
View 2 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:

I'm working on a simple game: when you press a button on the screen, a character will run to certain direction. It's easy to support keyboard input. But, some phone doesn't go with a keyboard or even no a track ball. So I decided to draw a virtual "run" key on the screen (with opengl). When the user press the virtual key, I apply a velocity to the character. And when the user release the key, I disable the velocity to stop the character but there seems to be some touch event noisy. If my finger cannot press still, I will see millions of touch down and touch up events, instead of a single long pressing.
And occasionally, my program captured the touch down event when I touch the screen, but didn't capture touch up event. So my character will keep moving, even no finger is on the screen. I'm wondering if there is some way to reduce the touch event noisy and tell if the user is currently pressing on the screen, instead of only getting an event when touch up and down happen. It seems the system UI can detect long pressing, for example when you put a finger on one item of the list view widget, the entire item turns to orange. I just don't know how to detect pressing in my opengl game.
how create thread in background for playing sound?
View 2 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'm using the SoundPool to play a series of small audio clips and am having issues with the audio when it starts. I have the audio attached to a button press. When I press the button mulitple times the tick persists. I was wondering if this was the audio file itself or is there something I need to do differently with the SoundPool other than play simply play the clip. These are .ogg files I created using Audacity. When I play them in my dekstop media player, they sound fine.

Because when I'm under the music player app, listening to something, and then I click (or long-click) "home" button, the sound stops. Also, while i'm listening to a track, if a phone call comes in, the music is paused, but when the call ends, the track position is lost and it starts from the beginning. Is all this normal?
