MediaPlayer plays only 2-3 seconds not full mp3

There is mp3 file which is 20 seconds long.
But MediaPlayer only plays 2-3 seconds.
I am using below code to play mp3 from raw file.
try{
AssetFileDescriptor afd = getApplicationContext().getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.buzzer6);
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener(){
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp){
mp.start();
}
});
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());
afd.close();
mediaPlayer.prepare();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
So what is the issue?
I want to Play full mp3 file which is 20 seconds.

I suggest you to have a look at this post
Basically if you try to enlarge the scope of MediaPlayer as instance variable it should work
(In the example is declared static, you probably do not need to declare it static)
just change this line:
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
in:
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer //is an instance variable not a local one
while into the method you maintain:
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

What is wrong with my music player for Android ???? It's going to CATCH in the try\catch statement every single time WHY?

I'm done my Android app, just need to add some looping background music. Here is my method for playing the song
public void playAudio(){
path = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.music1;
//set up MediaPlayer
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
try {
mp.setDataSource(path);
mp.prepare();
mp.setLooping(true);
mp.setVolume(100, 100);
mp.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("NOTE WORKEING","NOT WORKING");
}
}
It's not working....It's going to catch everytime, and I don't know why. Please help me. Music1 is an mp3 file.
Thank you

Make sure your music1 file is in a Android playable Android format.
Then just use this code:
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(YourActivity.this, R.raw.music1);
try {
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
mediaPlayer.setVolume(100, 100);
mediaPlayer.start();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("NOT WORKEING","NOT WORKING");
}
You don't even need to call prepare() method.
I tested it with an mp3 file and it works perfectly.

If #Squonk's answer does not work, then the problem has to do with trying to start the music file before the MediaPlayer has prepared it. Try changing the MediaPlayer's start code to the following:
mp.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
start();
}
});
Let me know if this helps, I have a good amount of experience with the MediaPlayer class and can help you troubleshoot.

Using mp.setDataSource(path) requires a valid filesystem path or URL.
In your case, path is a string representation of a Uri in which case you need to use a different approach.
Try setDataSource(Context context, Uri uri). You'll obviously need to provide a valid Context and parse your path variable into a Uri. Example...
mp.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(), Uri.parse(path));
Also change the path to...
path = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/raw/music1";

How to play audio file of format wav in android webview?

This is my code: mp3 format file plays without any error, but wav format brings MediaPlayer error(1,-1):
try {
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
player.setDataSource("h*.wav");
player.prepare();
player.start();} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
}

Read audio file from assets on Android

I am trying to play audio files stored in the assets directory, but before I even read a file I get the error "error occured java.io.FileNotFoundException: track.mp3". Here's how I read it:
AssetFileDescriptor afd = getAssets().openFd("track.mp3");
I read a lot of descriptions on the internet, but no success.

I think this code should work for you:
AssetFileDescriptor afd = getAssets().openFd("track.mp3");
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());
player.prepare();
player.start();
Otherwise, check if the file is in the right folder and the name is "track.mp3".

Right-click your "track.mp3" file, with the "Refactor" > "Move" command, move your file to another directory (e.g. "res"). With this same command, move it back to your "assets" directory. For me, it works.

Android guidelines suggest for Audio use res/raw folder. So make sure that all audio are there and when you read you can use this method:
void playAudio(Context mContext, String sound){
new AudioPlayer().play(mContext, mContext.getResources().getIdentifier(
sound,"raw", mContext.getPackageName()));
}
And if you need something line audio player then take a look at MediaPlayer

Use this code
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
AssetFileDescriptor afd;
try {
afd = getAssets().openFd("1.mp3");
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(),afd.getStartOffset(),afd.getLength());
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(LearnActivity.this, "Error Playing audio from Asset directory",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Otherwise, check if the file is in the right folder and the name is "track.mp3".
