media-player

I have a small (200kb) mp3 in the res/raw folder of my android app. I am trying to run it in an emulator from Eclipse. It is recognized as a resource in the R file but when I try to prepare/start, my activity crashes! Was there something else I needed to change, perhaps in the manifest? MediaPlayer mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(FakeCallScreen.this, R.raw.mysoundfile); try { mPlayer.prepare(); mPlayer.start(); } catch (IOException e) { // handle this later } When starting the activity i.e on onCreate put the following code. public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate

I am writing a media player and i would like to have a progress bar showing the progress of the song. I found the ProgressBar class, but all i can get on the screen is a circular spinning icon. what im looking for is an actual bar. How do i change the style of the ProgressBar to be a bar (not a circle) and how would i use it with MediaPlayer? thanks use the style ?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal for example: <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progressBar" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" and this is an example with MediaPlayer: package com.playerpgbar; import android.app

This code used to work. Then, maybe I changed something, somewhere (or if I know Android right, an update introduced a bug in the media player). It stopped working on some devices! Especially my Nexus S (2.3.6). The file test.m4a (17 775 201 bytes) was downloaded by the app. To verify its integrity, I copied it to the SD and played it on my PC. No problem! Also binary-compared it with the original file, and it matched 100%. try { _mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); _mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this); _mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this); _mediaPlayer.setOnSeekCompleteListener(this);
