How to get currently running raw id in Mediaplayer

In android MediaPlayer we can create an Object like MediaPlayer mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(Activity.this, R.raw.sound);

But my question is what if I want to get this raw id in somewhere else in my activity. Is it possible ? If so how?

I search for it but could not reach any solution.

Solution

  • from activity

    int sound_file_id =  getResources().getIdentifier("sound","raw" ,getPackageName());

    from fragment

    int sound_file_id =  getActivity().getResources().getIdentifier("sound","raw" ,getActivity().getPackageName());

    hope this answers your question
