java.io.IOException:setdatasource failed status = 0xFFF

Question

I am trying to get duration of .amr file by using MediaMetadataRetriever.Bur Every time I use, It give me the Error. Following Is the code to calculate the Duration. But it gives Error at SETDATASOURCE.newfile is the file i have created at runtime.

MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
            mmr.setDataSource(newfile.toString());
            int duration =  
Integer.parseInt(mmr.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_DURATION));


            int durSec = duration;
            durSec = durSec/1000;
            int durHour = durSec/3600;
            durSec = durSec%3600;
            int durMin = durSec/60;
            durSec = durSec%60;
            String Time = durHour+":"+durMin+":"+durSec;
            tv_duration.setText(""+Time);
            mmr.release();

What type of Object is "newfile"? – William Seemann Sep 24 '14 at 03:12 — William Seemann, Sep 24 '14 at 03:12

I don't think you want "newFile.toString()" try using java.io.File.getAbsolutePath(). I'm not sure what "newFile" is so I'm grasping at this one. .toString() will use the method on the object which may not necessarily provide a concise path.

What's this "Java.io.File.getAbsolutePath()". I can't get it. – Vikram Sep 23 '14 at 11:09
Couple of clarifications: assuming you are on Android for this, and is the newFile object a File object? – Dave G Sep 23 '14 at 11:11
Yes,I am working in Android. newFile is File object. – Vikram Sep 24 '14 at 07:10
Then replace newFile.toString() with newFile.getAbsolutePath() – Dave G Sep 24 '14 at 09:41
It gives same error.java.io.IOException:setdatasource failed status = 0xFFF – Vikram Sep 24 '14 at 11:17
Please provide more context in your question on how 'newFile' is created. – Dave G Sep 24 '14 at 12:39
final File newfile = new File(path+"/"+tv_no.getText().toString()); Here is code for new File. – Vikram Sep 24 '14 at 13:44

Ok hopefully not stating the obvious, are you certain the for exists, has more than a zero length, and is not open in another thread? – Dave G Sep 24 '14 at 22:31
