Question

I wrote a streaming radio app that is fairly basic in functionality but some devices refuse to “prepare” such as my Optimus One running 2.2. My app runs on other 2.2 devices any my brother’s S2 running 2.3 and my Prime running 4.0.3.

Any idea why my specific devise will not prepare the audio?

Edit: Added some code below

private void togglePlay() {
    try {
        if(!this.player.isPlaying()) {
            this.player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
            this.player.setDataSource(this.address);
            this.player.prepareAsync();
        } else {
            this.player.reset();
        }
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        ;
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        ;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        ;
    }
}

Edit: Added ADB log

Answer 1

I just flashed CyanogenMod 7 on my phone and my app now works great. Apparently LG is retarded and likes to break things. Still not sure why other apps work and mine didn’t but I’ll just have to add a note to my app description explaining the issue to other LG users.
