I am currently playing a song using MediaPlayer which plays fine. On user selecting a different song, I'm trying to play that out. But, I get error(1,-2147483648) and Error(1, -2147483648) by the MediaPlayer. These logs are printed after the call to prepareASync(); Note: The path of the file looks correct. However, how do I check for a valid filepath?
The sequence is as follows:
mPlayer.reset();
Log.d(TAG,"after reset");
mPlayer.setDataSource(mTrackToBePlayed);
Log.d(TAG,"after setDataSource");
// mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(preparedListener);
Log.d(TAG,"after setOnPreparedListener");
mPlayer.setOnErrorListener(errorListener);
Log.d(TAG,"after setting errorListener");
mPlayer.prepareAsync();
Log.d(TAG,"after prepareAsync");
The code for reference is this: in onResume() of my main activity(on returning to which, I want to start playback) I am making the calls MusicUtils.createPlayer(); and MusicUtils.playTrack(mCurrentTrack);
public static void playTrack(String track) {
mTrackToBePlayed = track;
try {
mPlayer.reset();
Log.d(TAG,"after reset");
mPlayer.setDataSource(mTrackToBePlayed);
Log.d(TAG,"after setDataSource");
// mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(preparedListener);
Log.d(TAG,"after setOnPreparedListener");
mPlayer.setOnErrorListener(errorListener);
Log.d(TAG,"after setting errorListener");
mPlayer.prepareAsync();
Log.d(TAG,"after prepareAsync");
} catch (IOException e) {
} catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
}
preparedListener = new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mp.start();
Log.d(TAG,"after start");
}
};
errorListener = new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
switch (what) {
case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED:
Log.d(TAG,"in onError");
// mIsInitialized = false;
mp.release();
// Creating a new MediaPlayer and settings its wakemode does not
// require the media service, so it's OK to do this now, while the
// service is still being restarted
try{
mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.reset();
mp.setDataSource(mTrackToBePlayed);
// mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mp.prepareAsync();
mPlayer = mp;
// mPlayer.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
//MediaPlayer.create(mContext, mTrackToBePlayed);
// mPlayer.setWakeMode(MediaPlaybackService.this, PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK);
return true;
default:
Log.d("MusicPlayer", "Error: " + what + "," + extra);
break;
}
return false;
}
};
//mPlayer.start();
}
public static boolean isPlaying() {
return mPlayer.isPlaying();
}
public static void pauseTrack() {
mPlayer.pause();
}
public static void startTrack() {
mPlayer.start();
}
public static void stopTrack() {
mPlayer.stop();
}
public static void releasePlayer() {
mPlayer.release();
}
This function is present in MusicUtils and is used to obtain the first track that the cursor returns
public static void retrieveDefaultPath() {
String[] STAR = { "*" };
Uri allsongsuri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
String selection = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + " != 0";
mCursor = mContentResolver.query(allsongsuri, STAR, selection, null, null);
if (mCursor != null) {
if (mCursor.moveToFirst()) {
//do {
//mSongName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME));
//mSongList.add(mSongName);//populate the list of display names
int song_id = mCursor.getInt(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID));
//mMusicIDs.put(song_id, counter++);//fill the HashMap with IDs corresponding to the positions
String fullpath = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA));
String album_name = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM));
int album_id = mCursor.getInt(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_ID));
String artist_name = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST));
int artist_id = mCursor.getInt(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST_ID));
//} while (cursor.moveToNext());
mDefaultPath = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI + "/" + song_id;
Slideshow.mCurrentTrack = mDefaultPath;
}
if (mCursor != null) {
mCursor.close();
}
}
}
The following function is used to obtain all the tracks on the device to display using the ListActivity.
public void getAllSongsFromSDCARD() {
String[] STAR = { "*" };
Uri allsongsuri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
String selection = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + " != 0";
cursor = managedQuery(allsongsuri, STAR, selection, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
mSongName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME));
mSongList.add(mSongName);//populate the list of display names
int song_id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID));
Log.d("Music List","ID: "+song_id+" counter:"+counter);
mMusicIDs.put(counter++, song_id);//fill the HashMap with IDs corresponding to the positions
String fullpath = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA));
String album_name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM));
int album_id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_ID));
String artist_name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST));
int artist_id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST_ID));
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
cursor.close();
}
}
I use the ID that the user selects and obtain the filepath in the following way:
music_id = (Integer)mMusicIDs.get(position);
mSelectedPath = mSelectedPath + "/" + music_id;

The sequence is correct. The path was going wrong. A hardcoded string instead of a Uri was being used. Thanks.
