Android Media Duration returns wrong value

Question

I have set up my app using these:

https://github.com/googlesamples/android-UniversalMusicPlayer/blob/master/mobile/src/main/java/com/example/android/uamp/ui/FullScreenPlayerActivity.java

https://gist.github.com/ianhanniballake/15dce0b233b4f4b23ef8

The duration is displayed as 10, which I believe is because dividing 10000 in putLong(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_DURATION, 10000); by 1000 in mEnd.setText(DateUtils.formatElapsedTime(duration/1000)); to get seconds format. But why 10000?

How do I get the original duration of the track being played?

Answer 1

Time in long is normally in milliseconds, so you should divide by 1,000 (not 10,000) to get the amount of seconds.

Answer 2

Ok, the problem was instead of 10000, I should have returned the media duration from the service itself. like player.getDuration() 10000 was (i guess) just an example by ianhanniballake
