Android Building Audio Player Tutorial

By Ravi Tamada March 5, 2012 0 Comments

In this tutorial i am going to discuss building a simple audio player with basic controls like play, pause, forward, backward, next, previous, playlist and seekbar. This app basically will read all audio files(.mp3) from sdcard and plays selected song. For this tutorial i am referencing MediaPlayer and go through it if you need any documentation about usage.

Android MediaPlayer Class

Android SDK is providing MediaPlayer Class to access android in built mediaplayer services like playing audio, video etc., In this tutorial i am using following functions of this class to control audio player.

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();

// Set data source -
setDataSource("/sdcard/path_to_song");

// Play audio
mp.start();

// Pause audio
mp.pause();

// Reset mediaplayer
mp.reset();

// Get song length duration - in milliseconds
mp.getDuration();

// Get current duration - in milliseconds
mp.getCurrentDuration();

// Move song to particular second - used for Forward or Backward
mp.seekTo(positon); // position in milliseconds

// Check if song is playing or not
mp.isPlaying(); // returns true or false

1. Designing the Audio Player Layout

Design your audio player using some graphic designing softwares like photoshop. I used photoshop to design this app layout. If you are not aware of designing just download the required images from the internet. Following is a screenshot of the audio player which we are going to build in this tutorial. (You can find this layout PSD in the download code)

2. Preparing Required Icons and Images

Once you are done with your app layout design, prepare the required icons and background images for the audio player application. Prepare your icons in different states like default, focused and pressed and place them all in your drawable folder.

3. Writing XML layouts for ICON states (default/hover/pressed)

After saving all the icons with different states, we need to write xml drawable for each icon. Following is a sample for play button. Save this file under drawable folder.

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/img_btn_play_pressed"
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/img_btn_play_pressed"
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/img_btn_play_pressed"
        	android:state_focused="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/img_btn_play"
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_pressed="false" />
</selector>

Note: You need to write xml drawable for each icon you used for the player (like btn_pause.xml, btn_next.xml etc,.)

4. Writing XML design for SeekBar

In this tutorial i used customized SeekBar to show song progress. You can design the style of default SeekBar using xml styles. In your drawable folder create to xml files and type the following code.

Changing SeekBar background:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <clip>
        <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:src="@drawable/img_seekbar_progress_blue"
            android:tileMode="repeat"
            android:antialias="true"
            android:dither="false"
            android:filter="false"
            android:gravity="left"
        />
        </clip>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Changing SeekBar Progress:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@android:id/background"
        android:drawable="@drawable/img_seekbar_bg"
        android:dither="true">
    </item>
    <item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
        <clip>
            <shape>
                <gradient
                    android:startColor="#80028ac8"
                    android:centerColor="#80127fb1"
                    android:centerY="0.75"
                    android:endColor="#a004638f"
                    android:angle="270"
                />
            </shape>
        </clip>
    </item>
    <item
        android:id="@android:id/progress"
        android:drawable="@drawable/seekbar_progress_bg"
    />
</layer-list>

Actual seekbar which uses above xml files:

<SeekBar
        	android:id="@+id/songProgressBar"
	         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	         android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
	         android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
	         android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
	    	 android:layout_above="@id/player_footer_bg"
	    	 android:thumb="@drawable/seek_handler"
	    	 android:progressDrawable="@drawable/seekbar_progress"
	    	 android:paddingLeft="6dp"
	    	 android:paddingRight="6dp"/>

5. Writing XML for Player Layout

So far we created separate xml layout for all the icons, seekbar. Now we need to combine everything into single layout. Create a new file called player.xml under layout folder and paste the following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/player_background"> 

    <!-- Player Header -->
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/player_header_bg"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="60dip"
        android:background="@layout/bg_player_header"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:paddingLeft="5dp"
        android:paddingRight="5dp">

        <!-- Song Title -->
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/songTitle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:textColor="#04b3d2"
            android:textSize="16dp"
            android:paddingLeft="10dp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:text="The Good, The Bad And The Ugly"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"/>

        <!-- Playlist button -->
        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/btnPlaylist"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:src="@drawable/btn_playlist"
            android:background="@null"/>
    </LinearLayout>

    <!-- Song Thumbnail Image -->
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/songThumbnail"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingTop="10dp"
        android:paddingBottom="10dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_below="@id/player_header_bg">
    	<ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/adele"/>
    </LinearLayout>

    <!-- Player Footer -->
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/player_footer_bg"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="@layout/bg_player_footer"
        android:gravity="center">

        <!-- Player Buttons -->
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:background="@layout/rounded_corner"
            android:paddingLeft="10dp"
            android:paddingRight="10dp">
            <!-- Previous Button -->
            <ImageButton
                android:id="@+id/btnPrevious"
                android:src="@drawable/btn_previous"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@null"/>
            <!-- Backward Button -->
            <ImageButton
                android:id="@+id/btnBackward"
                android:src="@drawable/btn_backward"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@null"/>
            <!-- Play Button -->
            <ImageButton

                android:background="@null"/>
            <!-- Forward Button -->
            <ImageButton

                android:src="@drawable/btn_forward"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@null"/>
            <!-- Next Button -->
            <ImageButton
                android:id="@+id/btnNext"
                android:src="@drawable/btn_next"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@null"/>
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

    <!-- Progress Bar/Seek bar -->
    <SeekBar
        	android:id="@+id/songProgressBar"
	         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	         android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
	         android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
	         android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
	    	 android:layout_above="@id/player_footer_bg"
	    	 android:thumb="@drawable/seek_handler"
	    	 android:progressDrawable="@drawable/seekbar_progress"
	    	 android:paddingLeft="6dp"
	    	 android:paddingRight="6dp"/>

    <!-- Timer Display -->
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/timerDisplay"
        android:layout_above="@id/songProgressBar"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp">
        <!-- Current Duration Label -->
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/songCurrentDurationLabel"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:textColor="#eeeeee"
            android:textStyle="bold"/>
        <!-- Total Duration Label -->
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/songTotalDurationLabel"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:gravity="right"
            android:textColor="#04cbde"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/btn_repeat"
            android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
            android:background="@null"/>

        <!-- Shuffle Button -->
         <ImageButton

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/btn_shuffle"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            android:background="@null"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

The above xml will give following output layout.

6. Writing XML for PlayList ListView

Playlist is displayed using a listview. If you are not aware of listview go through this Android ListView Tutorial and get an idea of listview layout.

⇒ Create an xml file under drawable folder and name it as list_selector.xml and type following code. This xml is used for gradient background for list item.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Selector style for listrow -->
<item
 android:state_selected="false"
    android:state_pressed="false"
    android:drawable="@drawable/gradient_bg" />
<item android:state_pressed="true"
    android:drawable="@drawable/gradient_bg_hover" />
<item android:state_selected="true"
 android:state_pressed="false"
    android:drawable="@drawable/gradient_bg_hover" />
</selector>

⇒ Create a new xml file under layout layout folder and name it as playlist.xml and type the following code. This xml file is for listview.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:divider="#242424"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp"
        android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" />

</LinearLayout>

⇒ Also create a new xml file under layout folder for single List Item. Name file as playlist_item.xml and type following code. This xml file is for single list item which holds song title.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:background="@drawable/list_selector"
    android:padding="5dp">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/songTitle"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="16dp"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:color="#f3f3f3"/>
</LinearLayout>

By using above layout we can achieve following list view by loading data into it.

7. Writing Class for reading MP3 files from SDcard

So far we are done with static layouts for the player. Now the actual code starts.
Create a new class file and name it as SongsManager.java. This class will read all the files from device sdcard and filters the files which are having .mp3 extension.

package com.androidhive.musicplayer;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class SongsManager {
	// SDCard Path
	final String MEDIA_PATH = new String("/sdcard/");
	private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> songsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

	// Constructor
	public SongsManager(){

	}

	/**
	 * Function to read all mp3 files from sdcard
	 * and store the details in ArrayList
	 * */
	public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> getPlayList(){
		File home = new File(MEDIA_PATH);

		if (home.listFiles(new FileExtensionFilter()).length > 0) {
			for (File file : home.listFiles(new FileExtensionFilter())) {
				HashMap<String, String> song = new HashMap<String, String>();
				song.put("songTitle", file.getName().substring(0, (file.getName().length() - 4)));
				song.put("songPath", file.getPath());

				// Adding each song to SongList
				songsList.add(song);
			}
		}
		// return songs list array
		return songsList;
	}

	/**
	 * Class to filter files which are having .mp3 extension
	 * */
	class FileExtensionFilter implements FilenameFilter {
		public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
			return (name.endsWith(".mp3") || name.endsWith(".MP3"));
		}
	}
}

8. Writing Class for PlayList ListView

Create a new Activity class for playlist listview. Name the file as PlayListActivity.java This class will display list of songs in list layout by using SongsManager.java class

package com.androidhive.musicplayer;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;

public class PlayListActivity extends ListActivity {
	// Songs list
	public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> songsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.playlist);

		ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> songsListData = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

		SongsManager plm = new SongsManager();
		// get all songs from sdcard
		this.songsList = plm.getPlayList();

		// looping through playlist
		for (int i = 0; i < songsList.size(); i++) {
			// creating new HashMap
			HashMap<String, String> song = songsList.get(i);

			// adding HashList to ArrayList
			songsListData.add(song);
		}

		// Adding menuItems to ListView
		ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, songsListData,
				R.layout.playlist_item, new String[] { "songTitle" }, new int[] {
						R.id.songTitle });

		setListAdapter(adapter);

		// selecting single ListView item
		ListView lv = getListView();
		// listening to single listitem click
		lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
					int position, long id) {
				// getting listitem index
				int songIndex = position;

				// Starting new intent
				Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
						AndroidBuildingMusicPlayerActivity.class);
				// Sending songIndex to PlayerActivity
				in.putExtra("songIndex", songIndex);
				setResult(100, in);
				// Closing PlayListView
				finish();
			}
		});
	}
}

9. Helper Class functions

Create a new class called Utilities.java for handling extra work like converting time to progress percentage and vice-versa. Also it has function to convert millisecond to a timer string which will displayed on the seekbar of the player.

package com.androidhive.musicplayer;

public class Utilities {

	/**
	 * Function to convert milliseconds time to
	 * Timer Format
	 * Hours:Minutes:Seconds
	 * */
	public String milliSecondsToTimer(long milliseconds){
		String finalTimerString = "";
		String secondsString = "";

		// Convert total duration into time
		   int hours = (int)( milliseconds / (1000*60*60));
		   int minutes = (int)(milliseconds % (1000*60*60)) / (1000*60);
		   int seconds = (int) ((milliseconds % (1000*60*60)) % (1000*60) / 1000);
		   // Add hours if there
		   if(hours > 0){
			   finalTimerString = hours + ":";
		   }

		   // Prepending 0 to seconds if it is one digit
		   if(seconds < 10){
			   secondsString = "0" + seconds;
		   }else{
			   secondsString = "" + seconds;}

		   finalTimerString = finalTimerString + minutes + ":" + secondsString;

		// return timer string
		return finalTimerString;
	}

	/**
	 * Function to get Progress percentage
	 * @param currentDuration
	 * @param totalDuration
	 * */
	public int getProgressPercentage(long currentDuration, long totalDuration){
		Double percentage = (double) 0;

		long currentSeconds = (int) (currentDuration / 1000);
		long totalSeconds = (int) (totalDuration / 1000);

		// calculating percentage
		percentage =(((double)currentSeconds)/totalSeconds)*100;

		// return percentage
		return percentage.intValue();
	}

	/**
	 * Function to change progress to timer
	 * @param progress -
	 * @param totalDuration
	 * returns current duration in milliseconds
	 * */
	public int progressToTimer(int progress, int totalDuration) {
		int currentDuration = 0;
		totalDuration = (int) (totalDuration / 1000);
		currentDuration = (int) ((((double)progress) / 100) * totalDuration);

		// return current duration in milliseconds
		return currentDuration * 1000;
	}
}

7. Writing Classes needed for Audio Player

Open your main activity class which deals with main player interface and make the class implements from OnCompletionListener, SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener.
In this case my main activity name is AndroidBuildingMusicPlayerActivity.

public class AndroidBuildingMusicPlayerActivity extends Activity
       implements OnCompletionListener, SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {

Now declare all variable needed for this audio player class.

public class AndroidBuildingMusicPlayerActivity extends Activity
       implements OnCompletionListener, SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {

	private ImageButton btnPlay;
	private ImageButton btnForward;
	private ImageButton btnBackward;
	private ImageButton btnNext;
	private ImageButton btnPrevious;
	private ImageButton btnPlaylist;
	private ImageButton btnRepeat;
	private ImageButton btnShuffle;
	private SeekBar songProgressBar;
	private TextView songTitleLabel;
	private TextView songCurrentDurationLabel;
	private TextView songTotalDurationLabel;
	// Media Player
	private  MediaPlayer mp;
	// Handler to update UI timer, progress bar etc,.
	private Handler mHandler = new Handler();;
	private SongsManager songManager;
	private Utilities utils;
	private int seekForwardTime = 5000; // 5000 milliseconds
	private int seekBackwardTime = 5000; // 5000 milliseconds
	private int currentSongIndex = 0;
	private boolean isShuffle = false;
	private boolean isRepeat = false;
	private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> songsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

Now reference all buttons, images from xml layout to class.

// All player buttons
		btnPlay = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnPlay);
		btnForward = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnForward);
		btnBackward = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnBackward);
		btnNext = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnNext);
		btnPrevious = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnPrevious);
		btnPlaylist = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnPlaylist);
		btnRepeat = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnRepeat);
		btnShuffle = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnShuffle);
		songProgressBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.songProgressBar);
		songTitleLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.songTitle);
		songCurrentDurationLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.songCurrentDurationLabel);
		songTotalDurationLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.songTotalDurationLabel);

		// Mediaplayer
		mp = new MediaPlayer();
		songManager = new SongsManager();
		utils = new Utilities();

		// Listeners
		songProgressBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this); // Important
		mp.setOnCompletionListener(this); // Important

		// Getting all songs list
		songsList = songManager.getPlayList();

Launching PlayList

Write click event listener to playlist button. On clicking playlist button we need to launch PlayListAcitivity.java and from listview on selecting a particular song we need get songIndex.

/**
		 * Button Click event for Play list click event
		 * Launches list activity which displays list of songs
		 * */
		btnPlaylist.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), PlayListActivity.class);
				startActivityForResult(i, 100);
			}
		});

To receive the selected songIndex add following fucntion. (Make sure that you added this function outside of onCreate method)

/**
	 * Receiving song index from playlist view
	 * and play the song
	 * */
	@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode,
                                     int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if(resultCode == 100){
         	 currentSongIndex = data.getExtras().getInt("songIndex");
         	 // play selected song
             playSong(currentSongIndex);
        }

    }

Playing Song

Add the following function to your class. This function accepts songIndex as param and plays it. Also when start playing a song it switches the play button to pause button state.

/**
	 * Function to play a song
	 * @param songIndex - index of song
	 * */
	public void  playSong(int songIndex){
		// Play song
		try {
        	mp.reset();
			mp.setDataSource(songsList.get(songIndex).get("songPath"));
			mp.prepare();
			mp.start();
			// Displaying Song title
			String songTitle = songsList.get(songIndex).get("songTitle");
        	songTitleLabel.setText(songTitle);

        	// Changing Button Image to pause image
			btnPlay.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_pause);

			// set Progress bar values
			songProgressBar.setProgress(0);
			songProgressBar.setMax(100);

			// Updating progress bar
			updateProgressBar();
		} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

Forward / Backward button click events

Add event listeners to Forward and Backward buttons which forwards or backwards song by specified seconds.

Forward button click event – moves song to specified number of seconds forward

/**
		 * Forward button click event
		 * Forwards song specified seconds
		 * */
		btnForward.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				// get current song position
				int currentPosition = mp.getCurrentPosition();
				// check if seekForward time is lesser than song duration
				if(currentPosition + seekForwardTime <= mp.getDuration()){
					// forward song
					mp.seekTo(currentPosition + seekForwardTime);
				}else{
					// forward to end position
					mp.seekTo(mp.getDuration());
				}
			}
		});

Backward button click event – moves song to specified number of seconds backward

/**
		 * Backward button click event
		 * Backward song to specified seconds
		 * */
		btnBackward.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				// get current song position
				int currentPosition = mp.getCurrentPosition();
				// check if seekBackward time is greater than 0 sec
				if(currentPosition - seekBackwardTime >= 0){
					// forward song
					mp.seekTo(currentPosition - seekBackwardTime);
				}else{
					// backward to starting position
					mp.seekTo(0);
				}

			}
		});

Next / Back button click events

Add click listeners to next and back buttons.

Next button click event – which plays next song from the playlist if presents else plays first song

/**
		 * Next button click event
		 * Plays next song by taking currentSongIndex + 1
		 * */
		btnNext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				// check if next song is there or not
				if(currentSongIndex < (songsList.size() - 1)){
					playSong(currentSongIndex + 1);
					currentSongIndex = currentSongIndex + 1;
				}else{
					// play first song
					playSong(0);
					currentSongIndex = 0;
				}

			}
		});

Back button click event – which plays previous song if presents or plays last song

/**
		 * Back button click event
		 * Plays previous song by currentSongIndex - 1
		 * */
		btnPrevious.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				if(currentSongIndex > 0){
					playSong(currentSongIndex - 1);
					currentSongIndex = currentSongIndex - 1;
				}else{
					// play last song
					playSong(songsList.size() - 1);
					currentSongIndex = songsList.size() - 1;
				}

			}
		});

Updating SeekBar progress and Timer

To update progress bar timer i implemented a background thread which runs in background using a Handler. If you new to Handler follow this doc. Updating the UI from a Timer

/**
	 * Update timer on seekbar
	 * */
	public void updateProgressBar() {
        mHandler.postDelayed(mUpdateTimeTask, 100);
    }	

	/**
	 * Background Runnable thread
	 * */
	private Runnable mUpdateTimeTask = new Runnable() {
		   public void run() {
			   long totalDuration = mp.getDuration();
			   long currentDuration = mp.getCurrentPosition();

			   // Displaying Total Duration time
			   songTotalDurationLabel.setText(""+utils.milliSecondsToTimer(totalDuration));
			   // Displaying time completed playing
			   songCurrentDurationLabel.setText(""+utils.milliSecondsToTimer(currentDuration));

			   // Updating progress bar
			   int progress = (int)(utils.getProgressPercentage(currentDuration, totalDuration));
			   //Log.d("Progress", ""+progress);
			   songProgressBar.setProgress(progress);

			   // Running this thread after 100 milliseconds
		       mHandler.postDelayed(this, 100);
		   }
		};

	/**
	 *
	 * */
	@Override
	public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromTouch) {

	}

	/**
	 * When user starts moving the progress handler
	 * */
	@Override
	public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
		// remove message Handler from updating progress bar
		mHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask);
    }

	/**
	 * When user stops moving the progress hanlder
	 * */
	@Override
    public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
		mHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask);
		int totalDuration = mp.getDuration();
		int currentPosition = utils.progressToTimer(seekBar.getProgress(), totalDuration);

		// forward or backward to certain seconds
		mp.seekTo(currentPosition);

		// update timer progress again
		updateProgressBar();
    }

Repeat button click event

On clicking repeat button we need to set isRepeat to true and vice-versa. Also we need to change image source of repeat button to focused state.

/**
		 * Button Click event for Repeat button
		 * Enables repeat flag to true
		 * */
		btnRepeat.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				if(isRepeat){
					isRepeat = false;
					Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Repeat is OFF", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
					btnRepeat.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_repeat);
				}else{
					// make repeat to true
					isRepeat = true;
					Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Repeat is ON", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
					// make shuffle to false
					isShuffle = false;
					btnRepeat.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_repeat_focused);
					btnShuffle.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_shuffle);
				}
			}
		});

Shuffle button click event

On clicking shuffle button we need to set isShuffle to true and vice-versa. Also we need to change image source of shuffle button to focused state.

/**
		 * Button Click event for Shuffle button
		 * Enables shuffle flag to true
		 * */
		btnShuffle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				if(isShuffle){
					isShuffle = false;
					Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Shuffle is OFF", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
					btnShuffle.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_shuffle);
				}else{
					// make repeat to true
					isShuffle= true;
					Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Shuffle is ON", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
					// make shuffle to false
					isRepeat = false;
					btnShuffle.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_shuffle_focused);
					btnRepeat.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_repeat);
				}
			}
		});

Implementing song onCompletion Listener

It is important to implement this listener which will notify you once the song is completed playing. In this method we need to play next song automatically depending on repeat and shuffle conditions.

/**
	 * On Song Playing completed
	 * if repeat is ON play same song again
	 * if shuffle is ON play random song
	 * */
	@Override
	public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer arg0) {

		// check for repeat is ON or OFF
		if(isRepeat){
			// repeat is on play same song again
			playSong(currentSongIndex);
		} else if(isShuffle){
			// shuffle is on - play a random song
			Random rand = new Random();
			currentSongIndex = rand.nextInt((songsList.size() - 1) - 0 + 1) + 0;
			playSong(currentSongIndex);
		} else{
			// no repeat or shuffle ON - play next song
			if(currentSongIndex < (songsList.size() - 1)){
				playSong(currentSongIndex + 1);
				currentSongIndex = currentSongIndex + 1;
			}else{
				// play first song
				playSong(0);
				currentSongIndex = 0;
			}
		}
	}

Sending files to Emulator SDCard (For Testing)

To test this app in your android emulator you need to load your emulator with some songs. You can send files to emulator sdcard using adb tool which comes with Android SDK.

Navigate to your android SDK folder/platform-tools/ using command line. And using push command you can send files to sdcard. (Start your emulator before performing push command)

platform-tools> adb push "c:\Songs\White Flag.mp3" "/sdcard/"

Run your application.

I have written a method to scan any folder, including all its subfolders for all files matching any wanted file extension.

You can find the code here:
http://pastebin.com/krxV64R3

The method “createAudioExtensionsList()” creates a list of file extensions that you want to find. In your case that would only be mp3 files so you have to remove the other entries.

“getFileExtension(…)” is a simple method to get the extension of a file.

“getFilesInFolder(…)” is a function that calls itself recursively to scan a folder and all its subfolders for the file with the extensions that you give it as parameters. If you want to scan the whole sdcard you just pass the that to the function! (be aware that different Android ROMs might have different naming conventions! There is a method to get the root path of the sd card but I dont remember, so you have to look it up yourself)

  Hi Mr.bowter…thank u so much fr yr reply..but the Url which u have given is not working..i couldn’t able to connect to that site…can u pls check out n let me know the code..Thank u once again…Waiting for yr reply….
- Andi
  
  I already tried it, but I can’t call the function “getFilesInFolder”. Eclipse keep saying ” The method getFilesInFolder(File, ArrayList) in the type SongsManager is not applicable for the arguments (String,
  ArrayList)”. Can you please help me? Thank you.

Hai Ravi.

How to get mp3 songs Thumbnail from sdcard in android.
wodzu96

Hello. Thanks for the tutorial! But I think that there is better way to find songs in the phone. You can find it like that:

public ArrayList<HashMap> getPlayList(){

Cursor cursor = resolver.query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, new String [] {“ARTIST”, “DURATION”, “TITLE”, “_DATA”, “ALBUM”}, null, null, null);

while(cursor.moveToNext()) {

HashMap song = new HashMap();

song.put(“artist”, cursor.getString(0));

song.put(“duration”, cursor.getString(1));

song.put(“songTitle”, cursor.getString(2));

song.put(“songPath”,cursor.getString(3));

song.put(“album”,cursor.getString(4));

// Adding each song to SongList

songsList.add(song);

}

return songsList;

}

Thanks to this you can also get name of artists, albums and duration.

  this code isn’t working for me. Is there anything that has to be changed for it to work?

    Ok, now i see. When i shared it this site change a bit of code. So you have to download it from here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QIUZBGkSKfygvdyGJ5QOSaOlMsmxsZ9Lp0uNZ1-LZKk/edit?usp=sharing

      In “Cursor cursor = resolver.query(…..” What is “resolver”? Is it a variable or a constant. And how do I initialize it? Thanks in advance.
John Pavlecich

For anyone having trouble with the IndexOutOfBoundsException, it is because it is not finding any music on your sdcard.

Line 80: playSong(0); throws an indexOutBoundsException when it finds no music (getPlaylist() returns a blank list so 0 is not a proper index).

I fixed it by changing the the directory it starts in so it actually finds music. Here is a code snippet to set the directory as the music folder. Make sure you actually have music there or you’ll still get the error.

In SongsManager.java: getPlaylist() method:

File home = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC);

The original tutorial probably should have a had check on the size to make sure the playlist really had something in it rather than trying to play the first song off the bat which crashes the program if no music exists.

if(songsList.size() >0){
// By default play first song
playSong(0);
}
John Pavlecich

It is not finding music on your sdcard. In the class AndroidBuildingMusicPlayerActivity, it attempts to playSong(0). If the songsManager finds no music, this will throw that exception. You can either change where it is looking for music or prevent the app from playing the first song. See my post at the top.

Hi Ravi,

your code works like charm. Now I have song array list which came through server and populated in list view.I want to implement my codes with your music player,so that I have been looking through your codes and fount out MEDIA_PATH string which is pointed to sdcard. My question is that how could I change this path to load my songs list array properly ? Thanks in advance !

ok i download the code and testing in my nexus isnt working the folder stuff, and could be a slow task i guess scanning so in song manager i changed this:

public ArrayList<HashMap> getPlayList(Context context){

String[] projection = {

MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION

};

String selection = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + ” != 0″;

Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(

MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,

projection,

selection,

null,

null);

if(cursor!=null)

{

while(cursor.moveToNext()) {

HashMap song = new HashMap();

String title = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE));

String path = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA));

song.put(“songTitle”, title);

song.put(“songPath”, path);

songsList.add(song);

}

}

return songsList;

Thank you for this interesting application.

however when I started to run it / launch it.. it shows “You project contains error(s) , Please fix them before running the application”…

I recheck all lines in all imported files and found some in the Utilities.java

Implicit super constructor Object() is undefined for default constructor. Must define an explicit constructor

and for string declaration, I got: String cannot be resolved to a type

I tried to solve it in different ways with no results

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for this tutorial, I got it working. I have a concern though, the stack trace displays a lot of logs from the constant checking of getDuration and getCurrentPosition. If however someone uses this for a bigger application, I wanted to stop the checking after I’m done or stopped the media player. If someone has resolved this or will resolve this, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Hi I want to ask you how to design next/back buttons to get list of items from data base please.

MEDIA_PATH in SongsManager.java is set to “/sdcard/” which might not be the correct path.
In my case I set it to “/storage/emlated/0/Music” and everything works fine.

It plays the music as soon as it starts so incorrect path leads to Force Close

Romane

To all those who have tried to make this Tutorial work without success.

When i first tried this tutorial it didn’t work for me, I wasn’t testing on an emulator I was testing on my HTC mini.

It has no “sdcard’ folder so every time i tried to run the app it crashed.

I fixed it by creating a new folder on the phone called “sdcard” and putting audio in it. Then it worked great!

The final issue I noticed was that if you turned the phone “Horizontal ” it would also crash.

I don’t know how to fix these, but maybe someone could come up with the code to catch these issues.
- arash ataafarin
  
  thanks man , Solved! In Samsung Phone if you did not insert sd card in your phone,you should create sdcard as Romane said and change the path in SongsManager.Java to /storage/emulated/0/sdcard/
Prashant

Nice Tutorial !!!!!!
Hellmouth

“currentSongIndex = rand.nextInt((songsList.size() – 1) – 0 + 1) + 0;”

I am still trying to decipher why the hell did you add a zero and then subtract one.
Also, limiting the rand to the range within the list but then adding one after it?

The effect is the same as if you just did rand.nextInt without the “-1” inside… as far as I understand the process.
Hellmouth

“if(mp.isPlaying()){
if(mp!=null){”

err WAT

You call on mp’s method, and THEN you check if mp object is null?

hi,

iv downloaded all the code, no errors or warnings, my app appears on my huawei y300 , put once i try to open it, an error message comes up saying “appname” has stopped working?? should it not at least build and show the list view etc? is there something simple i am missing?

plz help.
Khushwant Singh

Hi,

Simply the best.

For those this app is crashing and in case they are running this sample directly on phone, please make sure that your phone is set to “Charge only” and NOT disk drive mode. In case your phone is connected in disk drive mode, the SD card will not be accessible by phone/app and app will crash.

Thanks,

hi abhi,

i’m new in android.

Could tell me where is to put the”SD card root folder”. is it in the package inside of any folder or what,

and can you explain me about:

to test this app in your android emulator you need to load your
emulator with some songs. You can send files to emulator sdcard using adb tool which comes with Android SDK.

Navigate to your android SDK folder/platform-tools/ using command line. And using push command you can send files to sdcard. (Start your emulator before performing push command)

platform-tools> adb push “c:SongsWhite Flag.mp3” “/sdcard/”

mUpdateTimeTask is leaked, Just put a log in the run and you will see. Also pausing the current song and pressing back buttons make the application crash since onDestroy media player is released and calling getDuration on it results in IllegalStateException.
- Anirudha
  
  Adding
  mHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask);
  mHandler = null;
  in onDestroy solves the problem

Rly the solution Plz
- Bob Smith
  
  It could be any number of reasons. Any crash in the java code can cause your app to stop. Look in your LogCat in Eclipse for red text. It will give you a call stack and help you find where the code is crashing.

    Why ?

      This error is occurring because when playsong(0) is called songsList is empty. Put a check in playsong method where you check “songIndex” is less than size of the songList ArrayList

hey people i am new in android app development… so, i wanna know what i need to develop this audio player…. i know, i need Eclipse or other but i wanna know the best IDE to use and this things, i am in a project and this prject is a audio player for my school… so help me please…. what i do? fast answer please… thanks
- Bob Smith
  
  Eclipse is the best IDE in my opinion. Android even has a bundle that installs Eclipse completely ready to develop for android. Here’s a link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html After you install the bundle, you just have to launch eclipse, create a new android application project and then you are ready to run.

this player is not working if someone fix this error kindly help me out
Developer Princess

Had the same issue going on guys. However, in my case I needed to get the mp3 files from the raw folder, not from the sdcard. If this is your case, on the getplaylist method from “SongsManager class” add the following:

song.put(“songTitle”, “songname”);

song.put(“songPath”, “android.resource://” + ActivityClass.PACKAGE_NAME + “/”+R.raw.file);

(Of course do this per each file that you need)

(Where: “songname” is the song’s name, the ActivityClass.PACKAGE_NAME is the name of the package and the “R.raw.file” is your mp3 raw file in the folder: “res/raw” if you don’t have one, create it and that’s it! )

Also (and this goes in general not only for raw files reading) in your onDestroy() method add the following:

@Override
public void onDestroy(){

super.onDestroy();
mHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask); //add this (very important! >_<)
mp.release();
finish();
}

Hope this helps a bit! 😛

  hi.
  can u send me your code?
- Saniya Sharma
  
  I’ve tried this… but it does not work…can u send me ur code to my email id : saniyasharma455@yahoo.com
- Loaded Weapons
  
  I as well have been trying this for about 3 days and cant seem to get it to work. I get *** ActivityClass cannot be resolved to a variable****
  
  I dont know exactly what Im doing wrong so any help would be greatly appreciated
  - Developer Princess
    
    Oh it’s because “activityclass” is the name of your activity! You have to change it depending on your activity name. Good luck!
    - Loaded Weapons
      
      song1.put(“songTitle”, “If I Never Make It”);
      
      song1.put(“songPath”, “android.resource://” + Music.com.officialloadedweaponsapp + “/”+R.raw.if_i_never_make_it);
      
      That is the line of code I believe I should have, but am still getting error stating
      
      “com cannot be resolved or is not a field SongsManager.java /OfficialLoadedWeaponsApp/src/com/officialloadedweaponsapp line 41 Java Problem”
      
      any Idea what I am not getting?
      - Developer Princess
        
        I assume your java class has the name: “Music”. So, try it like this: song1.put(“songPath”, “android.resource://” + Music.PACKAGE_NAME + “/”+R.raw.if_i_never_make_it);
        
        let me know!! 🙂 Forgot to tell you: Don’t change the “PACKAGE_NAME” variable with the name of your package, it automatically loads it 🙂
      - Loaded Weapons
        
        PACKAGE_NAME cannot be resolved or is not a field
        
        thats the error now.
        
        I tried to change it Music.class + “/”+R.raw.if_i_never_make_it);
        
        but that did nothing but load the xml layout.
      - Developer Princess
        
        Can you send me a print screen pic of your class structure? (java classes inside your package com.officialloadedweaponsapp) and a printscreen from your class Music? That will help a lot.. chavezlucero88@gmail.com is my email!

- Юра Наливайко
  
  You need to use ContentResolver.
  
  Something like this:
  
  Cursor cursor = getContentResolver.query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
  
  And then:
  
  ArrayList arrayList;
  if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
  do {
  arrayList.add(cursor.getString(1));
  } while (cursor.moveToNext());
  }
  
  Now your arrayList contains absolute paths to ALL songs on device.

shruti

hello, This post is very helpful to me. but i have one confusion. why in the PlayListActivity you have used two different ArrayLists(songsList , songsListData ) ? can someone plz explain this to me ?

public class PlayListActivity extends ListActivity {

// Songs list

public ArrayList<HashMap> songsList = new ArrayList<HashMap>();

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.playlist);

ArrayList<HashMap> songsListData = new ArrayList<HashMap>();

SongsManager plm = new SongsManager();

// get all songs from sdcard

this.songsList = plm.getPlayList();

// looping through playlist

for (int i = 0; i < songsList.size(); i++) {

// creating new HashMap

HashMap song = songsList.get(i);

// adding HashList to ArrayList

songsListData.add(song);

}

// Adding menuItems to ListView

ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, songsListData,

R.layout.playlist_item, new String[] { “songTitle” }, new int[] {

R.id.songTitle });

setListAdapter(adapter);

you should make class called “CallReceiver”

and copy this :

public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

TelephonyManager telManager;

Context context;

@Override

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

this.context = context;

telManager = (TelephonyManager) context

.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

telManager.listen(phoneListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

}

private final PhoneStateListener phoneListener = new PhoneStateListener() {

@Override

public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {

try {

switch (state) {

case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING: {

// PAUSE

break;

}

case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK: {

break;

}

case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE: {

// PLAY

break;

}

default: {

}

}

} catch (Exception ex) {

}

}

};

//———————————————–

and then on main activity :

// ———————————————————————————————

PhoneStateListener phoneStateListener = new PhoneStateListener() {

@Override

public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {

if (state == TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING) {

mp.pause();

} else if (state == TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE) {

mp.start();

} else if (state == TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK) {

// A call is dialing, active or on hold

}

super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);

}

};

TelephonyManager mgr = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

if (mgr != null) {

mgr.listen(phoneStateListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

}

// ——————————————————————————————-

Hi, Ravi
This as an awesome tutorial for music player. It helps me very much. You have created this app for the SD Card, but if we want to download mp3 from the url so how can we do that features?
I want like that, A website where different songs like 10 or 15, and the app will take those mp3 files from the internet. Thus that app will work like online streaming app. So Please help about that matter.

Hi..I am using this musicplayer as a part of my app. I have given (button)onclicklistener from homepage(activity) to musicplayer(activity). And a button in musicplayer to Homepage. When i click on the musicplayer button in homepage. the song starts playing and everything works fine. When i go to homepage through intent and click on the musicplayer button in homepage the old song which started before is playing and a new media player is created and a new song is playing along with that Musicplayer UI is updated to the new song . Multiple clicks in musicplayer button creates multiple songs playing together . I just want to resume only the first created intent music player and not want to replace mediaplayer with new one.I have referred several sites but cant fix this. can any one help me with this.

  Hi…here every thing is running on the main UI Thread…which is causing this error as it is taking long time to run the methods or loading the songs..instead you can start a service to do that and bind it to the activity so that you can avoid this issue….

I implemented this code, except I changed it to play music from R.raw instead of from the sdcard. But onCompletion is never being called, rendering the shuffle and repeat functionality useless. Thus you’re only able to play one song, then the user has to manually select the next song.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? I set breakpoints in onCompletion, and it’s just never being called period.
- abdul
  
  how did u run this code for R.raw will u please help me..
  - cc
    
    Well, I’m not actually reading from R.raw. I’ve got everything hard-coded. The reason for that is eventually I want to have it streaming from the internet, but I’m going to need to find a web server I can use that allows streaming to android devices. If I can’t get streaming from the internet working, I’m just gonna bundle the songs with the app in the R.raw folder, and have it hard-coded. Of course that takes up a lot of space on the user’s device, so I’ll have to include a lot less songs.

  maybe you have no mp3 files directly within the MEDIA_PATH defined in SongsManager.java.

I am creating application that load sequential mp3 files from URLs. As i try it with initialize next mp3 files on completion of first mp3 files, but the problem is that, when first files complete, player take time to prepare or initialize the next mp3 files, yes I know that is part of the media player,it will take time to Prepare(For prepare() it may be long And for prepareAsync() comparatively sort time).

But , What i need that, when first mp3 files complete there playing, next mp3 files (From url) should not take time to prepare,as it should play without interrupt. I want to know , Is there way to attach next mp3 files for buffering while playing current mp3?, so we can playing it without interrupt.

Now it works ! I had the error about the NullPointerException in getPlayList() so I replaced : “new File(MEDIA_PATH)” by “Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC)” and add in AndroidManifest.xml file : Hope it helps ! Works on my device now 🙂

  I forgot to say thanks for this tutorial ! I’m beginning Android since a few days and it’s really easy to understand basics concepts. Some code will be changed because some bugs appear for me, anyway it will be a good exercice :). PS : You can add this additional feature for btnPrevious.setOnClickListener : if(mp.getCurrentPosition() > 15000){playSong(currentSongIndex);} // usually used

I manage to work this code

1.Add “AndroidManifest.xml” this permision(it should be between “android:versionName=”1.0″ >:” to )

2.Go “SongsManager.java” change:

final String MEDIA_PATH = new Environment().getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();

3.Run code and go “Android Device Monitor” (it is near run button in Android Studio ) wait little bit then find
“File Explorer” tab

4.go mnt->sdcard then select this .Now you should add .mp3 file to do that look above
there is a button “push a file onto the device” click this then choose your .mp3 file.

5.if step 4 gives error , it is about permission find sdcard with d–rwxr-x permission
it can be under stroge forder or only sdcard folder.In correct sdcard there is a thing called
LOST.DIR

hi! this is just a minor issue but its still a bit of a nagger. The player.xml and playlist.xml files have the layout_width and layout_height set to “match_parent” and the compiler is taking it as an error. What can i replace it with? Thanks in advance. The rest is flawless.

how to run .m4a file in audio player or convert to .m4a to mp3?
shan

i have tried every single thing mentioned in the comments below but still its not working..

can anyone please help me ????

“unfortunately all has stop working ” pops out each time i open the app
Zaier

Hi everybody,
I am here just to mention that Ravi don’t know the difference between between Runnable and thread Runnable is NOT a thread and handler.post(runnable) is for running the runnable in the thread where the handler was created/ instantiated. So all this application is running in the UI thead.
If I was him I would learn about multi-threading & then correct this tutorial.
Zaier

Ravi my friend try this:
in onCreate methode , just to be sure that you are in the UI thread and then see witch thread is created and called

Runnable runnable=new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Log.d(“ThreadName”,”currentThread() here “+ Thread.currentThread().getName());

}
};
runnable.run();

new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Log.d(“ThreadName”,”currentThread() here “+ Thread.currentThread().getName());

}
}).start();

      please check your SDCARD path..
      System.out.println(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath());
      and also make sure that, audio files exists in that location..
      
      In SongsManager class change :
      final String MEDIA_PATH = new String(“/sdcard/”);
      to
      your sdcard path.. im my case it is:
      final String MEDIA_PATH = new String(“/storage/emulated/0/”);
      
      Finally dont forget to add permisson:
      
      This worked for me.. 🙂
- shylock Arinaitwe
  
  replace File(MEDIA_PATH)” by Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC)” ;
  and add this permission to manifest file

Hi, can I have a simple play, pause and stop button with seekhbar mediaplayer which can play from URL or better from string, is there any tutorial ?
I have done some but i am unable to play from a URL or a String.
I want to implement this audio player in your MultiLevel ListView, I already implemented VideoView which is working greate, and I need Audio player as well.
- Kedrian Fiwi Linkz James
  
  1. Update your manifest to add internet permission
  
  2. implement on MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener and MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener
  3. register the listeners
  4. update your the playSong(int songIndex) method to :
  // Play song
  try
  {
  // mp.reset();
  //if(mp.isPlaying()) mp.stop();
  
  Uri myUri = Uri.parse(songsList.get(songIndex).getMusicLink());
  
  if (mp == null)
  {
  this.mp = new MediaPlayer();
  mp.setOnCompletionListener(this); // Important
  mp.setOnPreparedListener(this);
  mp.setOnErrorListener(this);
  }
  else
  {
  if(mp.isPlaying())mp.stop();
  mp.reset();
  mHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask);
  }
  
  mp.setDataSource(this, myUri); // Go to Initialized state
  mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
  buffering=true;
  updateLabelStatus(“Loading please wait…”);
  Log.d(TAG, “LoadClip Done”);
  mp.prepareAsync();
  
  } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  Log.d(TAG, e.toString());
  } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  Log.d(TAG, e.toString());
  } catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  Log.d(TAG, e.toString());
  }
  }
  
  implement on prepare like this:
  
  Log.d(TAG, “Stream is prepared”);
  
  try
  {
  
  if(!mp.isPlaying()) mp.start();
  
  songProgressBar.setProgress(0);
  songProgressBar.setMax(100);
  // Updating progress bar
  updateProgressBar();
  // set Progress bar values
  
  buffering = false;
  // Displaying Song title
  songTitleStatus = songsList.get(currentSongIndex).getTitle();
  updateLabelStatus(songTitleStatus + ” – Playing”);
  
  // Changing Button Image to pause image
  btnPlay.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_pause_arrw);
  
  }
  catch(Exception e)
  {
  doTost(“Error streaming media”);
  updateLabelStatus(songTitleStatus + ” – Stopped”);
  }
  
  finally implement on error listener
  
  @Override
  public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra)
  {
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
  sb.append(“Media Player Error: “);
  switch (what) {
  case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_NOT_VALID_FOR_PROGRESSIVE_PLAYBACK:
  sb.append(“Not Valid for Progressive Playback”);
  break;
  case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED:
  sb.append(“Server Died”);
  break;
  case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN:
  sb.append(“Station Server Down”);
  break;
  default:
  sb.append(” Non standard (“);
  sb.append(what);
  sb.append(“)”);
  }
  sb.append(” (” + what + “) “);
  sb.append(extra);
  Log.e(TAG, sb.toString());
  String ms = “Error: “+ songTitleStatus +” stream unavailable”;//sb.toString();
  doTost(sb.toString());
  updateLabelStatus(songTitleStatus + ” – Stopped”);
  buffering = false;
  return true;
  }

      If you remove getPlaylist() method …there is no way you will get the songs from the sdcard.
      It is not a solution, rather you are just removing the problem and ultimately the main purpose of the app.
      No Songs , Noting to Play.

Modify SongsManger like this and you have to pass context of appropriate activity during object creation of songsmanger in that activity

I have corrected the code for getplaylist() function and dont forget to add runtime permission in manifest and also
check the permission using a dialog box
——————————————————————————————————————————————————

eg:

SongsManager plm = new SongsManager(PlayListActivity.this);

// get all songs from sdcard

this.songsList = plm.getPlayList();

———————————————————————————————————————————————-

public class SongsManager {

private ArrayList<HashMap> songsList = new ArrayList<HashMap>();

Cursor cursor;

Context context;

// Constructor

public SongsManager(Context context){

this.context = context;

}

/**

* Function to read all mp3 files from sdcard

* and store the details in ArrayList

* */

public ArrayList<HashMap> getPlayList(){

String selection = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + ” != 0″;

String[] projection = {

MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME,

MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION

};

ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();

cursor = contentResolver.query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,projection, selection,null,null);

while(cursor.moveToNext()) {

HashMap song = new HashMap();

song.put(“songID”,cursor.getString(0));

song.put(“songTitle”,cursor.getString(2));

song.put(“songPath”,cursor.getString(3));

// Adding each song to SongList

songsList.add(song);

}

// return songs list array

return songsList;

}

}

Thanks Ravi…
These were very useful for my Project work.
Rest I faced some problems, worked few days onto them and googling I found there’s better Solution to the problem :: Java*Null*Exception
I recommend using the following code in Songsmanager class to Create Playlist & Load Music Files.

  kindly check your path in sd card where mp3 file exist. then set it in this :- final String MEDIA_PATH = new String(“/storage/sdcard0/Music”);
Владимир Ковалёв

Guys, I decided NillPointerExeption problem!
First of all, add to the manifest this lines:

Secondly, in the method OnCreate() paste the following code which requests permission to access files from the user (this thing has become necessary for Android 6 and above)
Then, correct the path to the sd card in the class SongManager. (In my case, it looks like this:
final String MEDIA_PATH = new String ( “/storage/830D-15FF/Music”); )
Finally, in the same class completely delete the contents of the method:
publics SongsManager()
and insert the following code instead:

public ArrayList<HashMap> getPlayList(){
System.out.println(MEDIA_PATH);
if (MEDIA_PATH != null) {
File home = new File(MEDIA_PATH);
File[] listFiles = home.listFiles();
System.out.println(home.listFiles());
if (listFiles != null) {
for (File file : listFiles) {
System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());
if (file.isDirectory()) {
scanDirectory(file);
} else {
addSongToList(file);
}
}
}
}
// return songs list array
return songsList;
}

private void scanDirectory(File directory) {
if (directory != null) {
File[] listFiles = directory.listFiles();
if (listFiles != null && listFiles.length > 0) {
for (File file : listFiles) {
if (file.isDirectory()) {
scanDirectory(file);
} else {
addSongToList(file);
}
}
}
}
}

private void addSongToList(File song) {
if (song.getName().endsWith(mp3Pattern)) {
HashMap songMap = new HashMap();
songMap.put(“songTitle”,
song.getName().substring(0, (song.getName().length() – 4)));
songMap.put(“songPath”, song.getPath());
// Adding each song to SongList
songsList.add(songMap);
}
}

/**
* Class to filter files which are having .mp3 extension
* */
class FileExtensionFilter implements FilenameFilter {
public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
return (name.endsWith(“.mp3”) || name.endsWith(“.MP3″));
}
}
}

I hope, this will help you 🙂

UPD.
I do not know why, but when the code insert extra characters appear in the type of strings:
public ArrayList <HashMap > getPlayList ()
Correct Strings in uppercase and delete the piece:
=””

  Rather than using a VIRTUAL DEVICE , prefer to use it in your phone ,by enabling the DEVELOPERS option in your phone and connecting it to the PC/LAPTOP , it will run and load faster than your AVD.
