Hello, I have created a MediaPlayer and will play a sound file. There is also a ProgressBar which I've configured to be a Horizontal Progress Bar. The problem I'm having is getting the progress bar to update as the song plays, i.e. when the song is half way played I want the progress bar to be half way filled. I can see that the trick is to use some sort of sleeping thread that wakes up and then performs the ProgressBar.setProgress (MediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition()) code but I cannot factor in the threading code. Would someone please take a look at a simple version of my code that uses a button to manually update the progress bar and please help to set me on the right course. Threads have never been my strong suit :( Thanks in advance guys.
