prepare

I have a strange problem. I use the prepareAsync method with the MediaPlayer , but the listener that I declared just never gets fired. I try to stream a live .mp3 feed from the Internet (radio station). I use an inline method for the listener, but I also tried implementing the interface without any success. Here's a portion of my code : In the member section : String url = "http://<my_url>.mp3"; MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); In Activity onCreate() : ToggleButton playButton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.playToggleButton); playButton.setOnClickListener(this); playButton

My app plays audio resource files from the internal directory designated for my app (/data/data/com...). It seems to download the files to that location okay, setDataSource(String path) doesn't throw any exceptions, but MediaPlayer.prepare() throws IOException.The same code works on the SD card. Why is this happening? EDIT: Let's assume this is the code; it's simpler than my code and it throws the same exception: package com.app.MediaPlayerTest; public class MediaTest extends Activity { MediaPlayer mp; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate

I'm having a crack at using the MediaPlayer object and not having much success. If I add a sound asset to my raw folder and call it using the int value within R, it works fine. But I want to be able to pull things off of url. According to all of the documentation I've read setDataSource() should accept a string param with a url to a file. I keep getting an IO exception on the prepare() statement. I've even tried copying the file locally and still no dice. Anyone have any ideas? MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); try { mp.setDataSource("http://www.urltofile.com/file.mp3"); mp.prepare(); mp
