What is the preferred way of reusing a MediaPlayer when using resources? My try looks a bit ... too complicated... so maybe I should be happy to see that it didn't work. (I run the Android 1.5 SDK and emulator.)
According to this thread my problem may be a permission problem. http://groups.google.se/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/5569a88c50dcc043?pli=1 I get the same error. But in my case it only occurs when I use FileDescriptor!?! The use case differs however, because I use a resource stored in the bundle. I have s0.mp3 safely stored in the project /res/raw and it successfully plays when I use SoundPool or MediaPlayer.create. And the log print tells me I referenced the correct file and stay safely in my package. I'm sure my way of getting the fd out from a package resource is the problem, I didn't find any other way... But why didn't setDataSource throw the exception instead of a printout? And why on earth is the same resource happily played one way but not the other? Seems like a design flaw rather than a security raise. Should I look in the MediaPlayer.create code to see how they get around the problem or can you help me understand how it works? This is a test code snippet: (from onCreate of a simple Activity) soundPlayer = new SoundPool(1, AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, 0); FileDescriptor fd = getResources().openRawResourceFd (R.raw.s0).getFileDescriptor(); Log.d("SoundTest", getResources().getResourceName(R.raw.s0)); mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); try { mediaPlayer.setDataSource(fd); mediaPlayer.prepare(); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("SoundTest","Error! " + Log.getStackTraceString(e)); } mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.s0); if (mediaPlayer != null) { mediaPlayer.start(); } soundPlayer.play(sounds[key], 1, 1, 1, 0, 2); And the error: PlayerDriver: Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported MediaPlayer: error (1, -4) SoundTest: Error! java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(Native Method) Thanks for any insight shared!
