Question

How can I make progress bar or progress dialog movement with audio in android

I am trying to design an audio player. I need help regarding the progress bar. I want the status of progress bar to change as the audio progresses. I want progress bar to pause as I press Pause button and start again as I press start button. Please help…
Thanks

Answer 1

Step 1:

• Get audio duration with MediaPlayer.getDuration()

Step 2:

• Set ProgressBar progress max. value to value from step 1

Step 3:

• Update progress bar periodically from MediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition(), while media playing using Handler. Check here

Remember to;

• Stop periodic update of step 3 at pauses and stops

• If you are going to add seek progress bar feature use MediaPlayer.seekTo(int msec) method, where msec is SeekBar.getProgress(), using SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangedListener

Good Luck!
