MediaPlayer working on emulator, but not on actual device in android

Question

I am creating an application where music is streaming from direct link. It is working with emulator but not working on actual device. I created a class named HomeFragment and a nested class Player which extends AsyncTask and initailized MediaPlayer. It looks like that there is error on intantiating MediaPlayer. In the logcat it shows prepare() failed.

I have searched for it and found Attempt to call getDuration without a valid mediaplayer in media player on android ,but this is defferent because i am not getting error because of getDuration() method

    public class HomeFragment extends Fragment {
View view;

private ImageButton btn_play_pause;
private TextView tv_time;
private SeekBar seekBar;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
private int mediaFileLength;
private int realTimeLength;
private boolean playPause;
private boolean initialStage = true;
private ProgressDialog progressDialog;
final Handler handler = new Handler();
private Runnable updater;

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.home_fragment,container,false);
    initialize();
    return view;
}

private void initialize() {
    btn_play_pause = (ImageButton) view.findViewById(R.id.btn_play_pause);
    tv_time = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_timer);
    seekBar = (SeekBar) view.findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
    seekBar.setMax(99);
    seekBar.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if(mediaPlayer.isPlaying()){
                SeekBar seekbar = (SeekBar) v;
                int playPosition = (mediaFileLength / 100) * seekbar.getProgress();
                mediaPlayer.seekTo(playPosition);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

    mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(view.getContext());
    btn_play_pause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if(!playPause){
                btn_play_pause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_pause);
                if(initialStage){
                    new Player().execute("http://www.url_of_song.mp3");
                }
                else {
                    if (mediaPlayer != null) {
                        if (!mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
                            mediaPlayer.start();
                        }
                    }
                }
                playPause = true;
            }
            else{
                btn_play_pause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_play);
                if(mediaPlayer != null) {
                    if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
                        mediaPlayer.pause();
                    }
                }
                playPause = false;
            }
        }
    });
}

class Player extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean>{

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
        boolean prepared = false;

        try{
            mediaPlayer.setDataSource(params[0]);
            mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(new MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener() {
                @Override
                public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) {
                    seekBar.setSecondaryProgress(percent);
                }
            });

            mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener(){

                @Override
                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    initialStage = true;
                    playPause = false;
                    btn_play_pause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_pause);
                    mp.stop();
                    mp.reset();
                }
            });
            mediaPlayer.prepare();
            prepared = true;
        }
        catch (Exception e){
            Log.e("AudioStreaming", e.getMessage());
            prepared = false;
        }
        return prepared;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        progressDialog.setMessage("Please Wait...");
        progressDialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean aBoolean) {
        super.onPostExecute(aBoolean);
        if(progressDialog.isShowing()){
            progressDialog.cancel();
        }
   //     mediaFileLength = mediaPlayer.getDuration();
        realTimeLength = mediaFileLength;
        mediaPlayer.start();
        initialStage = false;
        updateSeekbar();
    }
}

private void updateSeekbar(){
    seekBar.setProgress((int)(((float)mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() / mediaFileLength)*100));
    if(mediaPlayer.isPlaying()){
        updater = new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                updateSeekbar();
                realTimeLength -= 1000;
                tv_time.setText(String.format("%d:%d", TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(realTimeLength), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(realTimeLength) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(realTimeLength))));
            }
        };
        handler.postDelayed(updater, 1000);
    }
}

What i am doing wrong, what is the error, The Logcat shows:

I'm not sure that this is your entire problem, but I see that you are calling media player.prepare() in the doInBackground method of your AsyncTask, and then calling media player.start() in onPostExecute(),

But you haven't waited for the player to finish initializing after the call to prepare(). You need to use an OnPreparedListener, and wait for that notification before interacting with the player.

I have implemented OnPreparedListener but still getting error. I am calling start() after mediaPlayer is prepared. – Saurabh Kumar Feb 05 '18 at 18:14
onPrepared method is never been called. Why this is happening, in doInBackgroung i called mediaPlayer.prepareAsync(); @GreyBeardedGeek – Saurabh Kumar Feb 06 '18 at 08:57

I was doing this mistake, the file name of streamed mp3 song in url in new Player().execute("http://www.url_of_song.mp3"); inside onClick method contains spaces and capital letters thus the song couldnt be streamed. So be aware of such silly mistakes.

MediaPlayer working on emulator, but not on actual device in android
