Question

How to cache into disk audio streamed into MediaPlayer? I’d like to use cached audio instead of downloading it each time. Unfortunately setDataSource even do not accepts InputStream, so I don’t know solution.. My code:

    mediaPlayer.setDataSource(context, Uri.parse(/* file url */));
    mediaPlayer.prepare();
    mediaPlayer.start();

You can download it to the SDcard (or anywhere) and then play it back using the public void setDataSource (String path) method of MediaPlayer

mediaPlayer.setDataSource(Environment.getExtrnalStorageDirectory() + "/yoursoundfile.mp3");

you may have to tweak the path to get it correct.
