SetDataSource in media player android

Question

I have a class which is media player. I use mp.setDataSource(path); to get file from sdcard. But with this solution I get error. How can I change way to set Data to my player to work? I was reading about FileDescriptor. How can I change my path to use FileDescriptor?

This is error:

Exactly what error are you getting? What does your code look like? What kind of file is it? — Michael, Jul 16 '13 at 13:42
You have to explicit set the length of your file. Use the overloaded method: AssetFileDescriptor afd = ctx.getAssets().openFd([your asset name]); mediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength()); — Subtle Fox, Apr 15 '16 at 21:46

Example:

try {
    FileDescriptor fd = null;

    if (isInInternalMemory(audioFilename)) {
        int audioResourceId = mContext.getResources().getIdentifier(audioFilename, "raw", "com.ampirik.audio");
        AssetFileDescriptor afd = mContext.getResources().openRawResourceFd(audioResourceId);
        fd = afd.getFileDescriptor();
    } else if (isInSdCard(audioFilename)) {
        File baseDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
        String audioPath = baseDir.getAbsolutePath() + audioFilename + ".mp3";
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(audioPath);
        fd = fis.getFD();
    }

    if (fd != null) {
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(fd);
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
        mediaPlayer.start();
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

This example is from another question with the same issue.

To play video file from SdCard u can use these one also:

    VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1);

    String sdcardPath = "/sdcard/smaple.mp4"
    videoView.setVideoPath(sdcardPath);

    /** These one is controlling mediaplayer  */

    MediaController mediaControler = new MediaController(this);
    mediaControler.setAnchorView(videoView);
    videoView.setMediaController(mediaControler);
    videoView.requestFocus();
    videoView.start();

sdcard format getting from DDMS/FileExplorer/SdCard/video

Must Remember: VideoView only supporting .mp4 & 3gp video format

Don't forget adding android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in you project AndroidManifest.xml
