Dominik commented on CB-879:
----------------------------
I think calling setVolume() on Android doesn't work in this case because it
cannot be called prior to playing the sound. This is because the MediaPlayer
instance is created in startPlaying() (see last line in code fragment below,
taken from 1.7)
---
public void startPlaying(String file, float volume) {
if (this.recorder != null) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "AudioPlayer Error: Can't play in record
mode.");
this.handler.sendJavascript("cordova.require('cordova/plugin/Media').onStatus('"
+ this.id + "', "+MEDIA_ERROR+", { \"code\":"+MEDIA_ERR_ABORTED+"});");
}
// If this is a new request to play audio, or stopped
else if ((this.mPlayer == null) || (this.state ==
MEDIA_STOPPED)) {
try {
// If stopped, then reset player
if (this.mPlayer != null) {
this.mPlayer.reset();
}
// Otherwise, create a new one
else {
this.mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
----
and a call to
---
public void setVolume(float volume) {
this.mPlayer.setVolume(volume, volume);
}
---
will fail if mPlayer is not created yet.
We can call setVolume() right after startPlaying() but this would mean that the
sound starts to play with the default volume (in my case it has already
finished playing once the volume is set).

> Key: CB-879
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-879
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bada, CordovaJS, Docs, iOS, mobile-spec, webOS, WP7
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0, 1.8.0
> Reporter: Dominik
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Fix For: 1.9.0

>
> Looking at
> http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/cordova_media_media.md.html#media.play
> it seems like PhoneGap doesn't allow to set the volume when we play audio
> files (in order that it is set prior to when the playing actually starts). In
> my case I would like to pass the volume as a parameter to this method here:
> function playAudio(url)
> in order to play a short beep.
> I looked at the PhoneGap implementation for Android and iOS and it seems to
> be easy to implement on these two platforms.
> Would it make sense to add support for this?
