Question

For my Android game prototype, I’m playing back .wav resources using:

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, soundID);
mp.start();

This works fine in the Eclipse Android emulator, but when I run the same program on my G1, no sound happens. What could be the cause of this?

Answer 1

Try doing it this way:

Uri myUri = ....; // initialize Uri here
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(), myUri);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();

instead of MediaPlayer.create()
