I didn't setup the audio stream at the beginning, just tried it to see if it has any effect, it didn't have any
how do I use a uri to refer to a local resource in the res folder? what does error code -4 mean ? is there a list of supported video formats or something ? i know for sure now its not related to the set display call as i removed it and an error still occurs i also tried the asynch version of prepare and it produced the same result error (-4,0) On Oct 29, 11:54 pm, "Justin (Google Employee)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > mp.setAudioStreamType(2); > > You should be using a constant here > fromhttp://code.google.com/android/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html > , I'm guessing AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC > > Additionally, do you even need to set this? > > Finally, try > usinghttp://code.google.com/android/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.ht...) > .
