Play playlist with MediaPlayer
- by Kaloer
Hi,
I'm trying to play a playlist I get using the MediaStore provider. However, when I try playing a playlist nothing happens. Can a MediaPlayer play a playlist (m3u file) and do I need to set the first track to play ?
This is my test code in the onCreate() method:
Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
if(uri == null) {
Log.e("Uri = null");
}
String[] projection = new String[] { MediaStore.Audio.Playlists._ID, MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.NAME, MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.DATA };
Cursor c = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(c == null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.alarm_tone_picker_error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
if(!c.moveToFirst()) {
c.close();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.alarm_tone_picker_no_music, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
c.moveToFirst();
try {
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setDataSource(c.getString(2));
player.start();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I have turned on every volume stream.
Thanks you,
Kaloer
