MediaPlayer cant play audio files from program data folder?

Question

When i record my audio from MIC and store file in /data/data/..... why MediaPlayer can\'t play this file ? If i change destination to / sdcard/..... - all works great. I do so

Answer 1

Due to the Android security model, MediaPlayer haven't enough rights. It can access SD card, but can't access another places with out permissions.

As so, setDataSource(...) can thrown SecurityException and I think it's happening.

You can play this file next ways:

• copy it to temp dir and play;
• copy it to temp dir and play;
• copy it to sdcard;
• read it fully to memory and try play via stream.
