MediaPlayer cant play audio files from program data folder?

Question

When i record my audio from MIC and store file in /data/data/..... why MediaPlayer can\'t play this file ? If i change destination to / sdcard/..... - all works great. I do so

Answer 1

Better practice is to close the stream, like this:

FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(path);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(stream.getFD());
stream.close();

It is noted in the documentation of the method:

android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(FileDescriptor fd)

Sets the data source (FileDescriptor) to use. It is the caller's responsibility to close the file descriptor. It is safe to do so as soon as this call returns.
