I've been googling and searching the groups for answers and haven't been able to find anything concrete. I have several questions regarding the use of MediaPlayer if somebody can help me out:
1. I need to package an audio resource with my application, which I have done in /res/raw. However, it appears that I must use MediaPlayer.create() to use a resource ID rather than MediaPlayer.setDataSource(). I found some references to creating a URI to raw via "android:resource://package/raw/name" and "android:resource//package/" + resourceId. However, both of these tries resulted in IOExceptions during setDataSource. I'm assuming due to a bad URI. Is it possible to get a valid URI in SDK 1.0 that will point to a raw resource? 2. I'm writing an app that does some tracking and will typically go hand in hand with the music player running. Part of my app will, at times, need to play sound on top of the running audio stream. Is there any way for my app to get ahold of and temporarily pause the music stream so that the user will be able to clearly hear my audio? Is this prevented because it's considered 'bad behavior'? (I hope not because in my case its actually good and desirable behavior) 3. I see that I can set the audio stream but is there any documentation/discussion/details on what the various streams are, how they are used, and how they interact with one another? For example, as mentioned above I want to be able to pause/override/interrupt a music playing stream with my notification but I would NOT want to have my notification play if they are on an active phone call. Also, is there any doc/discussion/detail on which methods can be invoked on the mediaplayer at what times? As I experiment I seem to get a lot of 'invalid media state' errors when I try things with very little indication as to what state it is in and how I get it from the bad state to an acceptable state for the method in question. Thanks for any assistance. I've been researching for a couple of days but all the information I can find is very sparse or appears to be things that were valid in early SDKs but may not be any longer.
