All possible reasons that can stop mediaplayer

I have some problems with my Mediaplayer. It works well, but at some mysterious circumstances it stops playing. So i put some logs in onCompletion and onError callbacks and surround it with try/catch, but when it stops none of thees logs are triggering. So my question is how can Mediaplayer stops playing and dont trigger this logs.
P.S. it plays in service, but i checked - service continue running, and also i tried to play it in singleton class and GCMService too - it still stops and i can't figure out why.
Here is my code.
public class AlertService extends Service {
private boolean isPlaying = false;
private MediaPlayer mp;
private final String TAG = "Alert_playing";
public static final String PLAY_ALERT_ACTION = "play_alert_service";
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if(intent!=null&&intent.getAction().equals(PLAY_ALERT_ACTION)){
playAlertSound();
}
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
public void playAlertSound() {
if (!isPlaying) {
isPlaying = true;
Log.d(TAG, "isPlaying: " + String.valueOf(isPlaying));
mp = new MediaPlayer();
Uri ringtone = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + RetailerApplication.getAppContext().getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.alert);
try {
mp.setDataSource(RetailerApplication.getAppContext(), ringtone);
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION);
mp.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.start();
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.release();
isPlaying = false;
stopSelf();
Log.d(TAG, "isPlaying: " + String.valueOf(isPlaying));
}
});
}
});
mp.prepareAsync();
mp.setOnErrorListener(new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
#Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
isPlaying = false;
stopSelf();
Log.d(TAG, "what: " + what + " extra: " + extra);
Log.d(TAG, "isPlaying: " + String.valueOf(isPlaying));
return false;
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
isPlaying = false;
stopSelf();
Log.d(TAG, "isPlaying: " + String.valueOf(isPlaying));
Log.d(TAG, "exception" + e);
Logger.e(TAG, e);
}
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "miss");
}

Android streaming .wav audio file from server is not working

I have been trying to stream .wav file from server in the background. It works fine with .mp3 audio files. But when I try to play an .wav file, it is not playing. I implemented the audio player as a service. The following is the code
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class SoundService extends Service implements MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener {
private static final String TAG = "MyService";
String url;
MediaPlayer mp;
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.i("OnBind", "Inside OnBind");
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.i(TAG, "onCreate");
mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d("Stopping", "onDestroy");
mp.stop();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startid) {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.i("Starting", "onStart");
url = intent.getExtras().getString("url");
Log.i("Starting2", "onStart2");
try {
mp.reset();
Log.i("URLIS",""+url);
mp.setDataSource(url);
Log.i("Datasource", "datasource");
mp.setOnPreparedListener(this);
Log.i("preparedlistener", "PreparedListener");
mp.prepareAsync();
Log.i("prepareasync", "prepareAsync");
} catch(Exception e){}
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
Log.i("onprepared", "insideprepared");
mediaPlayer.start();
}
}
The service is called from the onactivityresult in mainActivity passing the url of audio file in intent.
public void onResponse(String response) {
Log.i("Myresponse",""+response);
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SoundService.class);
i.putExtra("url",response);
startService(i);
Log.i("Myresponse",""+response);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, ""+response, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
My log cat when streaming .wav file is as follows
10-02 15:00:03.527 27677-27734/com.example.gkrish.momdadme E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -2147483648)
10-02 15:00:03.534 27677-27677/com.example.gkrish.momdadme E/MediaPlayer: Error (1,-2147483648)

The code u have written is correct and most probably because of the response

Mediaplayer current position is always zero

I am building a simple music app.
Regardless of what I try, I can not get a song to stop in order to play a new song. I tried stop, release, stop, and release together; I created a service; I even tried to use current position to get the position of the MP3 and consider it playing if the position is > 1.
But nothing worked and I am going mad trying to figure this out.
I worked on this for 5 days and have failed at everything I have thrown at it.
I would greatly appreciate any advice and a clear solution.
I am a noob and I am trying very hard to solve my own problems but this one just has me stumped.

How can I used to stream files from another application program?
When I play video from main activity it plays and when I quit and go to file explorer and chose my player from custom dialog box and open I have that problem with uriString...

When navigating through your files you can set a clicklistener on a thumbnail. I use this code to fire up a full-screen video editor:
thumbNail.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (pathType.equals("image")) {
<snip>
}
else {
// music file
}
else {
// must be video
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(cmsURL + pathListFull,"video/mp4");
PackageManager packageManager = getActivity().getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> activities = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
boolean isIntentSafe = activities.size() > 0;
if (isIntentSafe) {
startActivity(intent);
}
else {
Log.d("SHOWFILE", "no intents available");
}
}
}
});

How do I play a live HTTP audio stream in MediaPlayer on Android?

I want to play a live HTTP stream in my Android app, so I installed the Windows Media Encoder 9 on another PC on the same LAN, and used it to create a live HTTP audio stream.
The live HTTP stream is okay: I tested it, and it can be played by Windows Media Player or VLC on a PC, and can be played by VLC for Android on my mobile.
So, in my Android app, I wrote this code:
private MediaPlayer player = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
.detectDiskReads()
.detectDiskWrites()
.detectNetwork() // or .detectAll() for all detectable problems
.penaltyLog()
.build());
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder()
.detectLeakedSqlLiteObjects()
//.detectLeakedClosableObjects()
.penaltyLog()
.penaltyDeath()
.build());
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btnPlay = (Button)findViewById(R.id.play);
address = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.address);
btnPlay.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
play();
}
});
}
private void play()
{
String serverIp;
serverIp = address.getText().toString(); // get the uri address, for example http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2340
if (player == null)
{
player = new MediaPlayer();
}
else
{
player.stop();
player.reset();
}
try {
Log.v("", "Init a new MediaPlayer");
player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
Log.v("", "Set the stream type to STREAM_MUSIC");
player.setDataSource(this, Uri.parse(serverIp));
Log.v("", "Set the source is " + serverIp);
player.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
player.setOnPreparedListener(this);
player.setOnErrorListener(this);
player.prepareAsync();
Log.v("", "After prepareAsync");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.v("IllegalArgumentException", e.toString());
} catch (SecurityException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.v("SecurityException", e.toString());
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.v("IllegalStateException", e.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.v("IOException", e.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.v("Exception",e.toString());
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
Log.v("onPrepared", "After prepareAsync");
mp.start();
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.v("play", e.toString());
}
}
#Override
public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.v("onBufferingUpdate", "Buffering Update");
}
#Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.v("MediaPlayer onError", "what=" + what + " extra=" + extra);
return true;
}
But it didn’t work. When I click the play button, nothing happens. But if I input some other URL I found on the internet (for example, http://www.example.com/song.mp3), it works.
So can anyone help me? The Log info is below. My mobile is HTC s710e, and my Android version is 4.0.4.
