Hi --
I sorted out my problem. I found the answer in someone's blog.
it turns out that I have to pass the startOffset and the length to the
setDataSource(), and those are obtained via
the AssetFileDescriptor:
AssetFileDescriptor afd = getAssets().openFd(fileName);
mp.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(),
afd.getLength());
That does the trick
