I've been working on an app that plays MP3 files and have started with out with the lowest supported android version and working upward toward JB.
For some reason the MediaPlayer starts generating an error in Android 4.2 when it has been working just fine until now. Nobody seems to know what has changed or how to work around it. The only suggestions I've found so far are to do with permissions, but unless they have changed radically for external storage, the MediaPlayer should have permission to read the files. Here is some relevant information. Notice there is no stack trace, just a message printed out. (I've included some of my debugging output for reference). 02-14 12:24:05.210: I/MessageListFragment(29567): *** FILE [exists:true]: file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.primaltech.vvm/files/audio/V20130115000008.mp3 02-14 12:24:06.001: D/MessageListFragment(29567): Local data file: id=1, rid=V20130115000008, uri=file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.primaltech.vvm/files/audio/V20130115000008.mp3 02-14 12:24:06.001: D/MessageListFragment(29567): Preparing to play: file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.primaltech.vvm/files/audio/V20130115000008.mp3 02-14 12:24:06.011: E/MediaPlayer(29567): error (1, -2147483648) 02-14 12:24:06.051: E/MediaPlayer(29567): Error (1,-2147483648) 02-14 12:24:06.051: E/MessageListFragment(29567): what: MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN So far I have seen this on both a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 4 running JB 4.2.1, it seems to work fine for the prior versions that I've been able to test (4.0.4, 4.1.1). -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
