Question

I am using below code in my app to play the Sound.
But i am not able to play it.
Whats the Problem ??

Code:

public void playSound(int resources){
    try{
        boolean mStartPlaying = true;
        MediaPlayer  mPlayer=null;
        if (mStartPlaying==true){
            mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

            Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://MY_PACKAGE/" + resources);
            mPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(),uri);
            mPlayer.prepare();
            mPlayer.start();
        } 
        else{
            mPlayer.release();
            mPlayer = null;
        }
        mStartPlaying = !mStartPlaying;
    }
    catch (IOException e){
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "prepare() failed");
    }


}

And i get log cat as like below:

Answer 1

Maybe you’re trying to play unsupported format.
Do you know what fails? : new, setDataSource, prepare, start … moreover IOException tells you there is something wrong with input file, such FileNotFoundException or EOFException (try to printout a more specific exception as suggested here)
