I have a problem on MediaPlayer's method : create().
(Version 2.3.3)
mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mMediaPlayer.create(this, musicIds[0]).start();
First line is Ok, but the second line is the point.
The eclipse suggestions me "Change access to static using 'MediaPlayer'(declaring type)" and "Add #SuppressWarnings 'static-access' to on Create()".
By the way, I take eclipse's suggestions........but still don't work.
It may be suggesting you do something like this:
MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, musicIds[0])
mMediaPlayer.start();
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, musicIds[0]);
mp.start()
On success, prepare() will already have been called and must not be called again.
Don't forget to call mp.release() after you are done with it.
I don't think the Eclipse's suggestions should be the subject for not working your code.
I will concentrate my attention on the way how the MediaPlayer is started. Beware that it may take some time until the song is initialized. So you better set the onPrepared() listener and call start() only when the mediaplayer is prepared.
mMediaPlayer.create(this, musicIds[0])
mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mMediaPlayer.start();
}
});
This is a more complete example of how to wait for the media player to be ready to play and ensure that you are releasing the media player. Without calling mediaPlayer.release() you may have problems on subsequent calls to the MediaPlayer.
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer= MediaPlayer.create(context.getApplicationContext(), R.raw.notification_ring);
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
mediaPlayer.release();
}
});
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
mediaPlayer.start();
}
});

I have yet to find an answer to this.
I have a local file (R.raw.Bob); and I am trying to use MediaPlayer to play the file.
Sometimes it plays, sometimes it does not. I have another file which plays seemingly fine every time.
My activity flow is like this: In onCreate I do the following:
MediaPlayer mBackground = MediaPlayer.create(MainAct.this, R.raw.background);
mBackground.start(); // Works as expected.
Now in a different part of the activity I have the following:
MediaPlayer mBob= MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.Bob);
mBob.start();
And nothing occurs. I have used Log.i() and the execution goes through the relevant code but the file does not start.
Why does MediaPlayer sometimes work and sometimes does not, and is there a more reliable way of playing sound files?
Try this to start:
MediaPlayer mBob = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.Bob);
mBob.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(final MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.start();
}
});
and this to stop:
mBob.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.stop();
}
});
In an Android app I am using MediaPlayer to play sound files.
This is just for personal use and will not be published.
I have several references to the sound files:
MediaPlayer dooropen = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.dooropen);
MediaPlayer doorclose = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.doorclose);
//...
For example the length of the dooropen sound clip is 2 seconds so after I play it I sleep for 2.5 seconds and then play the doorclose sound clip, like so
dooropen.start();
try{ Thread.sleep(2500); }catch(InterruptedException e){ }
doorclose.start();
The issue I am having is some of my sound files are not playing in the order I have them in.
There does not seem to be any reason why certain sound files do not play, because if I play them at the top of my onCreate() procedure they all play, it is only when I try and play them in a certain order.
You should implement the setOnCompletionListener() of the mediaplayer to get a callback when playback has completed and then load another audio file that needs to start playing.
See MediaPlayer Documentation about the mediaplayer state.
Yes you can use MediaPlayer along with oncompletionListener or you may try reseting the mediaplayer after one audio is completed. example code here. You may also use session id to keep track of which file was playing and which to start now.
mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
//set other attributes here
mPlayer.setAudioSessionId(1);
mPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
//check which audio session was playing and set new datasource and session
mPlayer.reset();
//set other data source here and different session id
}
});
Hope it solves your problem.
If you want to play sound in order, try this:
mp1.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp2.start();
}
});
mp2.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp3.start();
}
});
mp3.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp1.start();
}
});
So basically I use a Spinner widget and pass it the RingtoneManager Picker action, the user then selects their ringtone. Then I call onActivityResult() and get the uri for the ringtone.
Finally I pass the uri to another activity where I have a alarm setup to go off after a specific amount of time.
THE PROBLEM >>> when I get the uri for the ringtone in the 2nd activity and let mediaPlayer play it, It...it doesn't stop. No matter WHAT I try.
This is the 2nd activity and the mediaPlayer that never stops.
Uri ringtone;
ringtone = Uri.parse(musixType);
//mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(DisplayNotification.this, ringtone);
mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(DisplayNotification.this, ringtone);
mMediaPlayer.start();
mMediaPlayer.setVolume(100, 100);
}
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
while (mMediaPlayer != null) {
mMediaPlayer.stop();
mMediaPlayer.release();
mMediaPlayer = null;
}
}
});
How do I get it to stop #.#
Edit:
Could the reason it doesn't stop playing be that it is a ringtone from the RingtoneManager? I don't know why this would matter but I'm grasping at straws at this point.
Edit:
Is there a way to specify a certain length of time for mediaPlayer to run and disregard the data passed to it?
did you use MediaPlayer.setLooping method
use mMediaPlayer.setLooping(false);
Since you're not calling setLooping(true); on your mMediaPlayer referenced object, looping should not be the issue here as default is set false. Make sure you're not actually calling this piece of code multiple times from outside. Put a Log line before mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(DisplayNotification.this, ringtone); and see how many times it gets logged.
use this
mMediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
I had this problem too and solved it like this:
player.setDataSource(this, ringtone);
player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
player.prepareAsync();
player.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(final MediaPlayer mp) {
myHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mp.stop();
mp.release();
}
}, mp.getDuration()); <-- Make a postDelayed runnable that has the duration of the file as its cut off. Once the song plays, it will stop the mediaPlayer.
mp.start();
}
});
I use below code to play audio in background:
String[] Path = new String[] {path1, path2, ...};
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(Path[i]);
mMediaPlayer.prepare();
mMediaPlayer.start();
mMediaPlayer.seekTo(0);
While I play the first one Path[0] in background.
I want to make it auto play next one Path[1] after Path[0] play finish, how to arrive it?
You should override onCompletionListener like this,
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
Log.i("Completion Listener","Song Complete");
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
mp.setDataSource([nextElement]);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();
}
});
If you use a onPreparedListener in your MediaPlayer then you cal also use the prepareAsync command and ignore the .start().
You need to set an OnCompletionListener to your MediaPlayer, in the listener set the source to path2, prepare and play.

I am trying to play a looping Ogg file, I tried enabling setLooping(true) but that had no effect so I tried onCompletionListener and that's not working either, could someone clarify what I am doing wrong?
musicPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, R.raw.overworld);
musicPlayer.setVolume(musicVolume, musicVolume);
// musicPlayer.setLooping(true);
musicPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
musicPlayer.stop();
musicPlayer.seekTo(0);
musicPlayer.start();
Log.d("Sound Manager", "Song Completed");
}
});
Following is my play function,
public void playSong(int id) {
try {
stopSong();
musicPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, id);
musicPlayer.start();
} catch(Exception e) {
// Ignored
}
}
It's known that MediaPlayer is having problems with ogg files.
You could preferrably switch to another file format.
The other thing is, I would go on trying with setLooping(boolean) as it's most likely using the same scheme and its much more clearly.
Calling seekTo() if the MediaPlayer Object is stopped causes the MediaPlayer to be in an invalid state. You can call pause() instead but I wouldn't call any of these method, why not just seeking? I would guess if you remove the musicPlayer.stop() it will work.
remove ....
musicPlayer.stop();
from
onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp)
onCompletionListener() is not called if your MediaPlayer is set to looping, BUT if you don't have it set to looping, you can always just use a completion listener like so
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
if(!mp.isPlaying()) {
mp.start();
}
mp.seekTo(0);
}
You also shouldn't call stop() because that stops playback completely, and it doesn't make sense to seek in a video/song that you are not playing.
