Okay, So I'm working with a SHOUTCast stream for the first time, and I've been told that Android has changed the way it works with audio post-ICS
So, I tried some code that worked very well on 2.3 and 2.2, but when I tried running it on 4.2.2 it didn't play,
Here's my MainActivity.java
package com.mooo.ajbiz11.ponyfeather;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements
MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener, MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener,
MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener, MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener {
private String TAG = getClass().getSimpleName();
private MediaPlayer mp = null;
private Button play;
private Button pause;
private Button stop;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
play = (Button) findViewById(R.id.play);
pause = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pause);
stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stop);
play.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
play();
}
});
pause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
pause();
}
});
stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
stop();
}
});
}
private void play() {
Uri myUri = Uri.parse("http://radio.ponyvillelive.com:8026/stream");
try {
if (mp == null) {
this.mp = new MediaPlayer();
} else {
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
}
mp.setDataSource(this, myUri); // Go to Initialized state
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mp.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mp.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
mp.setOnErrorListener(this);
mp.prepareAsync();
Log.d(TAG, "LoadClip Done");
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.d(TAG, t.toString());
}
}
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
Log.d(TAG, "Stream is prepared");
mp.start();
}
private void pause() {
mp.pause();
}
private void stop() {
mp.stop();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
stop();
}
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
stop();
}
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("Media Player Error: ");
switch (what) {
case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_NOT_VALID_FOR_PROGRESSIVE_PLAYBACK:
sb.append("Not Valid for Progressive Playback");
break;
case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED:
sb.append("Server Died");
break;
case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN:
sb.append("Unknown");
break;
default:
sb.append(" Non standard (");
sb.append(what);
sb.append(")");
}
sb.append(" (" + what + ") ");
sb.append(extra);
Log.e(TAG, sb.toString());
return true;
}
public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) {
Log.d(TAG, "PlayerService onBufferingUpdate : " + percent + "%");
}
}
And my activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

android:layout_gravity="right|bottom"

android:layout_column="9"
android:layout_marginBottom="124dp"

<Button

</LinearLayout>
This works perfectly in Android 2.3, and was made for 2.2, but I can't seem to understand the new audio stuff in 4.0+ so when I run the compiled APK (which i have in Dropbox, signed) I get nothing...
I'm very new to Android programming and any help/insight would be amazing, but be gentle...my understanding of Java is only veeeery basic...
Also, I would like to switch from three buttons to a MediaController, but couldn't find the documentation
Pfft...figures...ran a LogCat on launch, noticed I was missing the Internet permission...
The code is flawless, just needed the one permission and it played like butter on my tablet
