namespace MoviePlayer
{
    [Activity(Label = "MoviePlayer", MainLauncher = true, Icon = "@drawable/icon")]
    public class Activity1 : Activity
    {
        int count = 1;
        MediaPlayer mp;

        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
        {
            base.OnCreate(bundle);

            // Set our view from the "main" layout resource
            SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
            mp = new MediaPlayer();
            mp.Prepare();
            mp.SetDataSource()
            mp.Start();

        }
    }
}

I don't know what should be in the mp.SetDataSource() I looked on examples but didn't understand.

Answer 1

You need to pass a path to the file you want to play as a string to the SetDataSource() method to play that file.
