If you are writing Java programs to play media files, then the first port of call is the MediaPlayer class. Typical code to play a file using the streaming mechanism of MediaPlayer is

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    try {
        Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://192.168.1.9/music/test.ogg");
        MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
        player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
        player.setDataSource(this, uri);
        player.prepare();
        player.start();
    } catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e.toString());
    }
}

Wake Lock Permission - If your player application needs to keep the screen from dimming or the processor from sleeping, or uses the MediaPlayer.setScreenOnWhilePlaying() or MediaPlayer.setWakeMode() methods, you must request this permission.
