Android-MediaPlayer流式播放在播放前显示进度对话框

Question

In my application, I will playing music from URL. So it would still take some time to play the audio since it is through streaming. I wanted to implement a ProgressDialog while waiting for the MediaPlayer to play/start.

Here is my method for playing the audio: public void playMedia(String songIndex) {

            ProgressDialog pDialog;
            pDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
            pDialog.setMessage("Loading. . . ");
            pDialog.setCancelable(false);
            pDialog.show();

            Uri songUri = Uri.parse(songIndex);
                    try {
                        mp.setDataSource(context, songUri);
                        mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
                        mp.prepare();

                    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }finally{
                        pDialog.dismiss();
                    }

                    if(mp!=null)
                        mp.start();
        }

This is how I tried to implement it. But it did not work. And i have Exceptions like this:

        08-27 19:48:13.896: E/InputEventReceiver(8798): Exception dispatching input event.

Are there other ways to implement this? Like where should i put this one? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The context object you have used here, pDialog = new ProgressDialog(context); will not work if you have referred to getApplicationContext().

Instead try replacing it with, Activity Context like this,

 pDialog = new ProgressDialog(ActivityName.this);

Answer 2

    Use Async Task:

     private class MediaPlayer extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

            @Override
            protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
                     Uri songUri = Uri.parse(songIndex);
                        try {
                            mp.setDataSource(context, songUri);
                            mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
                            mp.prepare();

                        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
return mp;
            }        

            @Override
            protected void onPostExecute(String result) {             
            }

            @Override
            protected void onPreExecute() {
    ProgressDialog pDialog;
                pDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
                pDialog.setMessage("Uploading file. . . ");
                pDialog.setCancelable(false);
                pDialog.show();
            }

            @Override
            protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
            }
        }
