Question

MediaPlayer gives error(-38,0) when playing audio repeats by clicking play button.
I am trying to make an app like musical pad first time it plays OK but when you click multiple times it goes in hang mode and shows error.

Answer 1

the media player buffer is getting full .
Use SoundPool instead

 int SoundArr[] = { R.raw.birds_whistling, R.raw.come_bye,
            R.raw.cute_whistle, R.raw.kill_bill_whistle, R.raw.look_back,
             };

SoundPool mSoundPool;
HashMap<Integer,Integer> mSoundPoolMap;
AudioManager  mAudioManager;

 mSoundPool=(SoundPool) SoundImageAdaptor.mSoundPool;
 mSoundPoolMap =SoundImageAdaptor.mSoundPoolMap;//i'm using a grid view adaptor
 mAudioManager = (AudioManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
/* code to that ensures the sound plays even when media player buffer gets full*/
                 if(!(mSoundPoolMap.containsKey(position)))
                 addSound(position, SoundArr[position]);
                 playSound(position);
