Thanks for the link! I see in that code they do: mediaPlayer.stop(); mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.seekTo(0);
This way it seems to stop correctly. Still unfortunately, I'm experiencing a strange behavior: after the stop, I let the user open another resource, with: mediaPlayer.reset(); mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(this); mediaPlayer.setDataSource(this, Uri.parse(uri)); mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); and it seems that after some stop, open and start, the player start to behave strangely and, for instance, it goes to onCompletion when it shouldn't, it stops buffering correctly and hangs at setDataSource for minutes before going on. Now I tried to use runOnUiThread to make sure only one thread manages the media player. Any idea why? Anyone who also noticed this behavior? Thanks!
