Answer 1

java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: http://www.example.com:8000/live.ogg

Because its trying load as a file from device contentprovider based on the context and you are passing as a URL.

Seems your issue is in setting datasource to mediaplayer. As you are trying to play url or streaming which required to setDataSource method without context.

I was facing same issue while playing live streaming. and below code resolved my issue.

PlayerScreen

        public class PlayerScreen extends Activity {
        @Override

            findViewById(R.id.btnStopMediaPlayer).setOnClickListener(clickListener);
            ToggleButton toggleButton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.togglePauseResume);
            toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(checkedChangeListener);
            /*

To get data from streaming url header data you can [check this answer][2]

For testing purpose here i have used two urls

UPDATE PlayerActivity

public class PlayerScreen extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.player);
        startService(new Intent(this, MediaPlayerService.class));
        /*
        * To get url which is passing from the previous activity listitem click.
        * If url which is pass from listitem click is not empty it will start player
        * */
        String url = getIntent().getStringExtra("url");
        if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(url))
            startMediaPlayer(url);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        registerReceiver(receiverFromservice, new IntentFilter(MediaPlayerService.SERVICE_TO_ACTIVITY));
    }

    private String currentPlayerStatus = "N/A";
    private BroadcastReceiver receiverFromservice = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            String action = intent.getAction();
            if (MediaPlayerService.SERVICE_TO_ACTIVITY.equalsIgnoreCase(action)) {
                /*
                * To get current status of player
                * */
                currentPlayerStatus = intent.getStringExtra(MediaPlayerService.PLAYER_STATUS_KEY);
                Log.e("Player Mode", "" + currentPlayerStatus);
            }
        }
    };

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        unregisterReceiver(receiverFromservice);
    }

    /**
     * TO start media player.It will send broadcast to Service & from service player will start
     *
     * @param url
     */
    public void startMediaPlayer(String url) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();

let me know if anything.
