Android Media Player URL Audio

Question

I am creating an app which will stream audio from a URL. But i am getting errors.
Here is the code:

   MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    try {
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://http://www.glowingpigs.com/audioclip/10.mp3");
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SecurityException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mediaPlayer.start();

Here is the errors:

You may remove errors which are not needed.

Answer 1

I think you mistyped the URL.

Replace http://http://www.glowingpigs.com/audioclip/10.mp3
with http://www.glowingpigs.com/audioclip/10.mp3 .

If you look at the MediaPlayer class , you could see what is the type of error thrown.

In your case it is :

public static final int MEDIA_ERROR_IO
File or network related operation errors.
Constant Value: -1004 (0xfffffc14)
