MediaPlayer prepare Failed Error(1,-17) when using recorded file .3gp

Question

I am trying record from the AudioRecorder then I am trying to play the same with Media Player, But its giving mediaplayer.prepare() failed to prepare. Could any one tell me what

Answer 1

Implement the OnCompletionListener and register it with your MediaPlayer instance.

After the media has been played out it will call this callback method onCompletion

void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp){
   //Here you stop it.
   mp.stop();
   //Reset the data source path to the new file
   mp.setDataSource(<uri>);
   mp.prepare(); // or mp.prepareAsync();
   // start the mediaplayer after the prepare has completed.
}

Release the mediaplayer instance once you are done playing all the files.
