I have an Android (2.2) project in Eclipse (Helios). I want to add an MP3 file to the project so that the MP3 file is deployed to the device along with the application.

I then would like to open the file as a File object, which means I’d need to know the full path (?) to the file on the device, but I don’t know how paths are specified in Android.

    Apparently there is a bug in Froyo that prevents WAV playback.

    Audio files should be placed in the “res/raw” directory of your project. Then use the id to play it (or attempt to play it)

    MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_file_1);
mp.start();
