GC_CONCURRENT freed 1841K and KILLED my MediaPlayer

Question

SOLVED: needed to declare MP globally.

I have a MediaPlayer playing/looping a sound.

    MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.v);
    mp.setLooping(true);
    mp.start();

and it works fine until I suddenly get

D/dalvikvm(14090): GC_CONCURRENT freed 1841K, 51% free 4335K/8839K, external 10702K/12379K, paused 2ms+4ms

in logcat and MP dies. Any ideas what might have happened and how do I fix that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Add this line before mp.start()

mp.setLooping(True)

Then set false when you want to stop it looping.

Answer 2

Got it! Just needed to declare MP globally and it works!
