Play sound on Phonegap app for Android

Question

I try to play an mp3 file. This works if I change the path to the file on my local webserver, but if I run this on an Android device the sound is not played and no error is

Answer 1

I had the same problem and finally got it working, with me the problem lied with the scope of my media variable. I got it working as follows:

(function () {

    "use strict";
     var media;
     document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady.bind(this), false);

function onDeviceReady() {
    media = new Media("/android_asset/www/sounds/wat is je wens.mp3", null, function (e) {
    alert('Media Error');
    alert(JSON.stringify(e));
    });

    alert('deviceready')
};
function onStart() {
    media.play();
    alert('yay')

}
};

Essentially I made sure that the scope of my media variable was sort of global by declaring it outside of onDeviceReady, but that Media wasn't called before the deviceready event.
