I have a byte array from a socket, client (app) receives those bytes, I need a way to play those bytes on android. I have tested PyAudio (works wonders when it's installed properly, on linux.) But I can't use PyAudio on android. (I'm using Kivy to build my app)
are there some tools to play audio in byte format on android?
you can use this system i made, it works with url,bytes,bytes stream and local file
class Audio:
_total_audio_instances=[]
def main_audio_init():
import os
try:
from jnius import autoclass
except:
os.system("pip install jnius")
from jnius import autoclass
try:
import threading
except:
os.system("pip install threading")
Audio._autoclass=autoclass
Audio._threading=threading
def close_all_audio_instances():
for inst in Audio._total_audio_instances:
inst.stop()
inst.release()
def __init__(self,source:str,looping:bool=False):
self._class=Audio._autoclass('android.media.MediaPlayer')()
self._class.setDataSource(source)
self._class.prepare()
self._busy=0
self._position=self.get_duration()
self._class.setLooping(looping)
Audio._total_audio_instances.append(self._class)
def help(self):
h="""

Well, I would suggest using the default android audio player. You can access it using jinus.
from jnius import autoclass
MediaPlayer = autoclass('android.media.MediaPlayer')
AudioManager = autoclass('android.media.AudioManager')
self.sound = MediaPlayer()
self.sound.setDataSource(yourDataSource) #you can provide any data source, if its on the devie then the file path, or its url if you are playing online
self.sound.prepare()
self.sound.setLooping(False) #you can set it to true if you want to loop
self.sound.start()
# You can also use the following according to your needs
#self.sound.pause()
#self.sound.stop()
#self.sound.release()
#self.sound.getCurrentPosition()
#self.sound.getDuration()
