how to get my player prepare for the online radio without any streaming after player is started.
Please Help me..
my source is:
if (playPause) {
control.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.play);
mediaPlayer.stop();
new Player().cancel(true);
media.stop();
media.reset();
mediaPlayer.reset();
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying())
mediaPlayer.stop();
mediaPlayer.reset();
media.stop();
playPause = false;
} else {
control.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.pause);
if (intialStage) {
new Player()
.execute("http://streaming.shoutcast.com/MUKILFMRADIO");
} else {
if (!mediaPlayer.isPlaying())
mediaPlayer.start();
}
}
playPause = true;
}
};

I would suggest to use Exoplayer than media player.ExoPlayer is an application level media player for Android. It provides an alternative to Android’s MediaPlayer API for playing audio and video both locally and over the Internet. ExoPlayer supports features not currently supported by Android’s MediaPlayer API, including DASH and SmoothStreaming adaptive playbacks. Unlike the MediaPlayer API, ExoPlayer is easy to customize and extend, and can be updated through Play Store application updates. This links give you better idea about Exoplayer.

how to disable sound in my game app?

Now i develop a game application and as all games on google play, they have a toggle button to switch on/off the sound.
Is there any technique i can use to disable all sounds in the game with one step or i have to disable every sound separately ??
I use MediaPlayer for playing sounds
private int playSound(int file) {
int duration = 1000;
sound = new MediaPlayer();
AssetFileDescriptor fd = getResources().openRawResourceFd(file);
try {
sound.setDataSource(fd.getFileDescriptor(), fd.getStartOffset(), fd.getLength());
sound.prepare();
sound.start();
sound.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
// Do the work after completion of audio
Toast.makeText(GameActivity.this, "good", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mp.release();
}
});
duration = sound.getDuration();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return duration;
}

try this
media.setVolume(0,0);

Get mediaplayer service screen from service

I have a media player service that plays a music in background, and this service is called from an activity. Now when i ex. exit from that activity, and get back to it again, i want to see what is the status, what song is played etc.
Here is the code from my service:

And my activity code - onClick:
case R.id.playeer_play:
playbackServiceIntent
.putExtra("url", songs.get(position).getLink());
playbackServiceIntent
.putExtra("position", position);
startService(playbackServiceIntent);
break;

There are different methods to realize it.
Using LocalBroadcastManager
Using an application to track the status of your service, i.e Song name, length, ...
Using SharedPreferences
IMHO, I think using a LocalBroadcastManager is more cleaner.
- Send a broadcast message to the service
- When the service receives the message, let it broadcast its status.

How to Play the online streaming radio in Android

I am developing one application where i want to play live stream radio. I have an url using which i will stream the radio and play. I have a play button by clicking which i want to play the radio. For that, i have written some code which is not at all working. Here is my code:
mp = new MediaPlayer();
try {
mp.setOnPreparedListener(this);
Log.d("Testing", "start111");
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
String url="xxxxxx";
mp.setDataSource(url);
mp.prepareAsync();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("Testing", "Exception ::: 1111 "+e.getMessage());
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
Log.d("Testing", "Exception ::: 2222 "+e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("Testing", "IOException ::: 3333 "+e.getMessage());

}
Can anyone please help me??

You can find good information regarding radio streaming.
Github radio streaming example
and also there is a question in SOF which can also be helpful
Stackoverflow radio streaming example
Hope it will help. thanks

Try this.
public class RadioStream extends Activity {
private final static String stream = "http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_radio2_mf_p";
Button play;
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
boolean started = false;
boolean prepared = false;
/**
* Called when the activity is first created.
*/
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_radio_stream);
play = (Button) findViewById(R.id.play);
play.setEnabled(false);
play.setText("Loading..");
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
play.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (started) {
mediaPlayer.pause();
started = false;
play.setText("Play");
} else {
mediaPlayer.start();
started = true;
play.setText("Pause");
}
}
});
new PlayTask().execute(stream);
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
/* if(started)
mediaPlayer.pause();*/
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
/*if(started)
mediaPlayer.start();*/
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
// mediaPlayer.release();
}
private class PlayTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... strings) {
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(strings[0]);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
prepared = true;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return prepared;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean aBoolean) {
super.onPostExecute(aBoolean);
play.setEnabled(true);
play.setText("Play");
}
}
}

Please do try the code below and call the given method at the on create of your activity or at the onclick listener of your button. Remember to handle the stop and start button the imgV is an imageView for my button.
private MediaPlayer player;
private void startMediaPlayer() {
String url = "http:yoururl.com"; // your URL here
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (SecurityException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
if(isPlaying){
try {
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
progress.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} catch (IllegalStateException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mediaPlayer.start();
}
});
}
mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(new OnBufferingUpdateListener() {
public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) {
}
});
}
boolean isPlaying = true;
private void startPlaying() {
isPlaying = true;
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mediaPlayer.start();
}
});
imgV.setImageResource(R.drawable.stop);
}
private void stopPlaying() {
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
isPlaying = false;
mediaPlayer.stop();
mediaPlayer.release();
initializeMediaPlayer();
}
imgV.setImageResource(R.drawable.play);
}

Audio streaming stop when screen gets Off in android

I am streaming mp3 on media-player, it plays continuos when your screen is on or you are doing multitasking but when you turn off screen it won't play audio continuously, it stucks many times.And I got this "info/warning (702,0) "on log cat
I tried mp.setWakeMode(getBaseContext(),PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK);
I am using service to play audio streaming but still it stucks.
public class myPlayService extends Service{
MediaPlayer mp;
String link ="http://85.23.194.72:70/mp3/str";

}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
mp = new MediaPlayer();
try {
mp.setDataSource(link);
mp.setWakeMode(getBaseContext(),PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK);
mp.prepareAsync();
mp.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mp.start();
}
});
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
