What is the best way to get an audio file duration in Android?

Question

I\'m using a SoundPool to play audio clips in my app. All is fine but I need to know when the clip playback has finished.

Did you try this:

String mediaPath = Uri.parse("android.resource:///raw/filename").getPath();
MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
mmr.setDataSource(mediaPath);
String duration = mmr.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_DURATION);
mmr.release();

But i am not exactly sure that this is lighter than exisiting code.
