You can't set the resource id directly, but you can get a filedescriptor for the resource. Something like: MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); AssetFileDescriptor afd = getContext().getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.yourmp3resource); mp.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength()); mp.prepare(); mp.start(); --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
