android list audio on sd card and play it

i am getting the audio files information in sdcard using

cr = getContentResolver();
crsrSdcard_ringtone = cr.query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, null,
     null, MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID);

now i want to play particular file from the list can i do it with passing it like

MediaPlayer mediaPlay = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlay.setDataSource(this,Uri.withAppendedPath(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, "/"+id));

mediaPlay.prepare();
mediaPlay.start();

please suggest a solution to get the file being played.

Solution

  • i recently come to know about _data field no 1 in the cursor returned crsrSdcard_ringtone will contain real path(/sdcard/Doorbell.mp3) to the file which will be useful to play that file which we can use with setDataSource() function of MediaPlayer
