Question

I set in MediaPlayer source as url with remote mp3 file. I want listen, where start playing song.

At start some time need to download mp3 header (caching) and only after start playing song. How I can know about this moment? I know only simple way: check at timer isPlaying status…

Answer 1

If you use Android native MediaPlayer, there’s an event called onPrepare which is called when the mediaplayer is ready to play your music

For example how to catch the above event on VideoView.

video = new VideoView(activity);
video.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {

}
