I use MediaPlayers in the most basic way possible, and yet it either works or not and there is no means to troubleshoot.
I am trying to play a .wav file in my app's own filespace. It just won't do it. I try variation upon variation. I suspect that the MediaPlayer boasts only a limited set of WAV file formats that it can play, but where do I turn to find that, and will it vary by phone model? File file = new File(fname); long siz = file.length(); boolean readable = file.canRead(); // this shows that the file is readable and sized around 60K // it is a mono 16 bit PCM WAV at 11,025 sample rate Log.d(TAG, "file is readable=" + readable + ", size=" + siz); Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file); // this create() returns NULL // the following hard-to-find error is printed: /* 01-06 18:05:02.257: ERROR/PlayerDriver(51): Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported 01-06 18:05:02.257: ERROR/MediaPlayer(1917): error (1, -4) */ MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), uri); mp.start(); This is the code that generated the file: ByteArrayOutputStream baos; // this is what stores raw audio data to be written out try { OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fname); try { byte[] pcm = baos.toByteArray(); WaveHeader hdr = new WaveHeader(WaveHeader.FORMAT_PCM, (short)1, mSampleRate, (short)16, pcm.length); hdr.write(out); out.write(pcm); } finally { out.close(); } } finally { baos.close(); }
