Question

Using Mediaplayer to play the audio file.

Everything works fine but the elapsed time of audio need to be updated in textview.

textview.setText(mediaplayer.getCurrentPosition()/100000.0).toString();

This gives the double value but if the end time is more than a minute and the elapsed time is 1minute it shows 0:60… but it should as 1:00…

Is there anyother way to show the elapsed time based on seekbar progress?

Thanks.

This works- Answer taken from another post :
How do I correctly display the position/duration of a MediaPlayer?

DateFormat works for dates, not for time intervals. So if you get a position of 1 second, the data format interprets this as meaning that the date/time is 1 second after the beginning the calendar.

private String getTimeString(long millis) {
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();

    int hours = millis / (1000*60*60);
    int minutes = ( millis % (1000*60*60) ) / (1000*60);
    int seconds = ( ( millis % (1000*60*60) ) % (1000*60) ) / 1000;

    buf
        .append(String.format("%02d", hours))
        .append(":")
        .append(String.format("%02d", minutes))
        .append(":")
        .append(tring.format("%02d", seconds));

    return buf.toString();
}

And then do something like

totalTime.setText(getTimeString(duration));
currentTime.setText(getTimeString(position));
