changing a track media player android

Question

I am currently playing a song using MediaPlayer which plays fine. On user selecting a different song, I'm trying to play that out. But, I get error(1,-2147483648) and Error(1, -2147483648) by the MediaPlayer. These logs are printed after the call to prepareASync(); Note: The path of the file looks correct. However, how do I check for a valid filepath?

The sequence is as follows:

           mPlayer.reset();
           Log.d(TAG,"after reset");
           mPlayer.setDataSource(mTrackToBePlayed);
           Log.d(TAG,"after setDataSource");
          // mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
           mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(preparedListener);
           Log.d(TAG,"after setOnPreparedListener");
           mPlayer.setOnErrorListener(errorListener);
           Log.d(TAG,"after setting errorListener");
           mPlayer.prepareAsync();
           Log.d(TAG,"after prepareAsync");

The code for reference is this: in onResume() of my main activity(on returning to which, I want to start playback) I am making the calls MusicUtils.createPlayer(); and MusicUtils.playTrack(mCurrentTrack);

public static void playTrack(String track) {

    mTrackToBePlayed = track;   

    try {
           mPlayer.reset();
           Log.d(TAG,"after reset");
           mPlayer.setDataSource(mTrackToBePlayed);
           Log.d(TAG,"after setDataSource");
          // mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
           mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(preparedListener);
           Log.d(TAG,"after setOnPreparedListener");
           mPlayer.setOnErrorListener(errorListener);
           Log.d(TAG,"after setting errorListener");
           mPlayer.prepareAsync();
           Log.d(TAG,"after prepareAsync");

    } catch (IOException e) {

    } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {

    }

    preparedListener = new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {

        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            mp.start();
            Log.d(TAG,"after start");
        }
    };

     errorListener = new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
         public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
             switch (what) {
             case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED:
                 Log.d(TAG,"in onError");
                // mIsInitialized = false;
                 mp.release();
                 // Creating a new MediaPlayer and settings its wakemode does not
                 // require the media service, so it's OK to do this now, while the
                 // service is still being restarted
                try{
                 mp = new MediaPlayer(); 
                 mp.reset();
                 mp.setDataSource(mTrackToBePlayed);
                // mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
                 mp.prepareAsync();
                 mPlayer = mp;
                // mPlayer.start();
                } catch (Exception e) {

                }
                 //MediaPlayer.create(mContext, mTrackToBePlayed);
                // mPlayer.setWakeMode(MediaPlaybackService.this, PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK);                 
                 return true;
             default:
                 Log.d("MusicPlayer", "Error: " + what + "," + extra);
                 break;
             }
             return false;
        }
     };


    //mPlayer.start();

}

public static boolean isPlaying() {
    return mPlayer.isPlaying();
}

public static void pauseTrack() {
    mPlayer.pause();
}

public static void startTrack() {
    mPlayer.start();
}

public static void stopTrack() {
    mPlayer.stop();
}

public static void releasePlayer() {
    mPlayer.release();
}

This function is present in MusicUtils and is used to obtain the first track that the cursor returns

public static void retrieveDefaultPath() {

    String[] STAR = { "*" };           
    Uri allsongsuri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;    
    String selection = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + " != 0";     
    mCursor = mContentResolver.query(allsongsuri, STAR, selection, null, null);     
    if (mCursor != null) {        
        if (mCursor.moveToFirst()) {          
            //do {               
                //mSongName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME));   
                //mSongList.add(mSongName);//populate the list of display names
                int song_id = mCursor.getInt(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID));   
                //mMusicIDs.put(song_id, counter++);//fill the HashMap with IDs corresponding to the positions
                String fullpath = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA));            
                String album_name = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM));          
                int album_id = mCursor.getInt(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_ID));               
                String artist_name = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST));         
                int artist_id = mCursor.getInt(mCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST_ID));        
                //} while (cursor.moveToNext());       


                 mDefaultPath = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI + "/" + song_id;
                 Slideshow.mCurrentTrack = mDefaultPath;

    }      
        if  (mCursor != null) { 
             mCursor.close();   
        }
    } 
}

The following function is used to obtain all the tracks on the device to display using the ListActivity.

public void getAllSongsFromSDCARD()  {     
    String[] STAR = { "*" };           
    Uri allsongsuri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;    
    String selection = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + " != 0";     
    cursor = managedQuery(allsongsuri, STAR, selection, null, null);     
    if (cursor != null) {        
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {          
            do {               
                mSongName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME));   
                mSongList.add(mSongName);//populate the list of display names
                int song_id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID));   
                Log.d("Music List","ID: "+song_id+" counter:"+counter);

                mMusicIDs.put(counter++, song_id);//fill the HashMap with IDs corresponding to the positions
                String fullpath = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA));            
                String album_name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM));          
                int album_id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_ID));               
                String artist_name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST));         
                int artist_id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST_ID));        
                } while (cursor.moveToNext());       
    }      
       cursor.close();    
    } 
} 

I use the ID that the user selects and obtain the filepath in the following way:

 music_id = (Integer)mMusicIDs.get(position);
 mSelectedPath = mSelectedPath + "/" + music_id;

Answer 1

The sequence is correct. The path was going wrong. A hardcoded string instead of a Uri was being used. Thanks.

Answer 2

**Check with the following class it will list out all th songs in the device also it play the song when click on that name.**



public class NewMp3PlayerActivity extends Activity {
       ListView musiclist;

      int music_column_index,music_column_index1;
