how to play same music file over and over again in android

My Android app has a music file that I want it playing when the Main Activity is started and I want the music file to restart when it finishes. So, basically I want it to loop over and over until the user has moved to a different activity.
Below is the class that starts the music file, but when the music is over, it does not restart ...
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainMenu extends Activity{
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_menu);
MediaPlayer mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(MainMenu.this, R.raw.mmt_menu);
mPlayer.start();
AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
if(!manager.isMusicActive())
{
mPlayer.start();
}
}
}
What do I need to do so that when the music stops it restarts again?
Thanks very much!

Call the function:
MediaPlayer.setLooping(true|false)
on the mediaplayerObject after you called MediaPlayer.prepare()
Example:
Uri mediaUri = createUri(context, R.raw.media); // Audiofile in raw
folder Mediaplayer mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mPlayer.setDataSource(context, mediaUri);
mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mPlayer.prepare();
mPlayer.setLooping(true);
mPlayer.start();

I am using HTML5 video tag with mp4 video, some phone playing this video good... nut some phone not playing this video...
i have doubt that inside the application which video player will work to play? have any inbuily video player or need to install any codec for that or it using browser video player?

It uses phone's codecs only. Problem is while decoding as it is not using android videoview and overlay.
Try setting harwareacceleration to true for you app. It should work. But some phones may not have hardware acceleration and so the decode fails.
But correct approach is to write the android videoplayer to play view like this:
VideoPlayerActivity.java:
package com.camera.manual;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.pm.ActivityInfo;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoPlayerActivity extends Activity {
private boolean mResumed = false;
private boolean mFocused = false;
private boolean mControlResumed = false;
private VideoView videoView = null;
private int stopPosition = 0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setTheme(R.style.Theme_TransparentVideo);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
setContentView(R.layout.video_view);
videoView =(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.myvideoview);
MediaController mediaController= new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
Uri uri=Uri.parse("android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.slow);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mResumed = false;
if (mControlResumed) {
if (null != videoView)
videoView.pause();
stopPosition = videoView.getCurrentPosition();
mControlResumed = false;
}
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mResumed = true;
if (mFocused && mResumed && !mControlResumed) {
if(null != videoView) {
//videoView.resume();
videoView.seekTo(stopPosition);
videoView.start();
}
mControlResumed = true;
}
}
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
mFocused = hasFocus;
if (mFocused && mResumed && !mControlResumed) {
if (null != videoView) {
//videoView.resume();
videoView.seekTo(stopPosition);
videoView.start();
}
mControlResumed = true;
}
}
}
video_view.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<VideoView android:id="#+id/myvideoview"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</FrameLayout>
and in JavaScriptInterface define a function like this:
public void launchVideoView () {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(mContext, VideoPlayerActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
mContext.startActivity(intent);
}
Then call this function when you have to play video

VideoView vd = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoview);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://"+ getApplication().getPackageName() +"/"+R.raw.asal);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
vd.setMediaController(mc);
vd.setVideoURI(uri);
vd.start();
vd.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
//you can set seekbar position here with help of vd.seekTo(progress);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Video completed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}

1)how to set seekbar seeking up to video length/duration
you can acheive this by using this code:
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
long duration = videoView.getDuration();
}
});

How to pause a music player programmatically

I have used MUSIC_PLAYER in my application by starting like this:
Intent myint = new Intent("android.intent.action.MUSIC_PLAYER");
startActivity(myint);
And I want to pause this player. How do I do that?
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Thread mtr = new Thread(){
public void run()
{
try {
Intent myint = new Intent("android.intent.action.MUSIC_PLAYER");
startActivity(myint);
sleep(50000);
// Here I want to pause my application after those 50 seconds.
}
catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
Intent myint = new Intent("nextscreen");
startActivity(myint);
}
}
};
mtr.start();
}
}

In Samsung devices, you can control the music player with these intents:
ICS:
"com.android.music.musicservicecommand.play"
"com.android.music.musicservicecommand.pause"
"com.android.music.musicservicecommand.next"
...
JB:
"com.sec.android.app.music.musicservicecommand.play"
"com.sec.android.app.music.musicservicecommand.pause"
"com.sec.android.app.music.musicservicecommand.next"
...
context.sendBroadcast(new Intent("com.sec.android.app.music.musicservicecommand.pause"));
Another solution is requestAudioFocus in AudioManager (do not forget to release it with abandonAudioFocus). For example:
...
((AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)).requestAudioFocus(listener, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT);
...
...
((AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)).abandonAudioFocus(listener);
...

You can't do that. Pausing the music player is an internal action inside the application available to the user exclusively, so it cannot be accessed/called from outside of the application.
You can, however, mute the music audio stream using the AudioManager class by calling setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, true).
Code sample:
AudioManager am = (AudioManager)MainActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
am.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, true);

See answer here, you can send broadcast to pause or stop the default music player very easy.

Youtube Video Playing issue in Android - Code Attached

This is a critical issue pertaining to an application we did. The code snippet attached here was working like a charm for the past several months. All of a sudden, it gives us the message in mediaplayer that video cannot be played.
Can anyone please suggest what need to be done, in order that this code will work for me by playing the video with no hassles.

You can't play YouTube videos like that. Use the Android YouTube Player Api or the IFrame API in a WebView.
Using the get_video endpoint is against youtube's terms of service.
