Please help.
I traced your error a little bit…
Looking down in Froyo’s source code, in frameworks/base/media/libmedia/mediaplayer.cpp, it comes down to this function.
At this point, apparently the
playerargument is NULLThat came from the function
status_t MediaPlayer::setDataSource(const char *url, const KeyedVector<String8, String8> *headers)from the same file, where it was able to instantiate theIMediaPlayerService, but thecreatemethod must have failed for some reason…One thing from the Android doc :
When done with the MediaPlayer, you should call release(), to free the resources. If not released, too many MediaPlayer instances may result in an exception.
Maybe you should check the
createMediaPlayerfunction is called only once ? I guess that would have failed also with Eclair, but may be worth looking into…Or maybe what you are looking at is what is described here
Hope that helps
