I’m trying to get an mp3 file and save it on the phone memory

  • 0

I’m trying to get an mp3 file and save it on the phone memory not the SD card then play it immediately with the Media Player. This code worked well when I used it to do the same thing on the SD card previously so it seems there may be some mistakes in the location where I save and read the mp3.

Here is my code:

try {

            MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
            URI uri = null;
            try {
                uri = new URI(
                        "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl="
                                + oLanguage + "&q=" + text);
            } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            String FileName = "Audio2.mp3";
            URL u = new URL(uri.toASCIIString());
            HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
            c.setRequestMethod("GET");
            c.setDoOutput(true);
            c.connect();

//          FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(new File(
//                  Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
//                          + "/download/" + FileName));

            FileOutputStream f = openFileOutput(FileName, MODE_PRIVATE);                
            InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len1 = 0;
            while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                f.write(buffer, 0, len1);
            }
            f.close();

//          player.setDataSource(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
//                      + "/download/" + FileName);

            player.setDataSource("/data/data/com.comm/files/" + FileName);              
            player.prepare();
            player.start()

Logcat:

    07-30 12:23:47.329: W/System.err(22426):    at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

And finally do I need to specify any permissions to allow me save to the phone memory?

    After doing some research it seems I needed to use I found I needed to use an input stream the code below solved the problem

            FileOutputStream f = null;
            try {
                f = openFileOutput(FileName, MODE_PRIVATE);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len1 = 0;
            while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                f.write(buffer, 0, len1);
            }
            f.close();

            player = new MediaPlayer();
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("/data/data/com.comm/files/"+ FileName);
            player.reset();
            player.setDataSource(fis.getFD());
            player.prepare();
            player.start();
            fis.close();
