This is in reference to Mark Murphy's topic at StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12920429/anyone-have-mediaplayer-working-with-parcelfiledescriptor-and-createpipe
I tried to post the following there but someone deleted it. As I'm not sure why I figured I'll try to get some insights here before I give up. I've got code in my ContentProvider that's very similar to Mark's, except that I implement the openAssetFile() function of my ContentProvider, not openFile(), because I use the setDataSource(FileDescriptor fd, long offset, long length) overload to pass data to MediaPlayer, and AssetFileDescriptor returned by openAssetFile() gives me a nice way to get all the arguments. I've tried to work around the problem by opening the .ogg asset via openFd() and getting the length from it. I return an AssetFileDescriptor with a zero offset and the length of the asset (so, no longer -1, or AssetFileDescriptor.UNKNOWN_LENGTH). Based on the thoughts from the StackOverflow discussion, I thought this could fool MediaPlayer into playing the clip - unfortunately, it does not. I made an attempt to dig into platform sources to see if I could get any insights there but I'm still not sure where the problem is. I'm wondering if anyone has made any progress with this? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
