1. MediaPlayer (Audio) Creation in Android


Step 1 : Select File -> New -> Project -> Android Application Project (or) Android Project. Fill the forms and click "Finish" button. If you have any doubt regarding create a new project Click Here.

Step 2 : Open res -> layout -> activity_main.xml (or) main.xml and add following code :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:text="Start" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="120dp"
        android:text="Stop" />

</RelativeLayout>



Step 3 : Open res -> raw and add beep.mp3 file

Step 4 : Open src -> package -> MainActivity.java and add following code :


package com.gudivada.hemanthsomaraju;

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

MediaPlayer media;
Button start, stop;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   
        start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
   
        media = MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.beep);
   
        start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

if(media.isPlaying()==false)
{
media.start();
}

play();
}
});
   
        stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

if(media.isPlaying()==true)
{
media.stop();
}

play();
}
});    
    }

    public void play()
    {
     boolean play = media.isPlaying();
    
     if(play==true)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Song is Playing",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
    
     else
     {
     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Song is not Playing",
     Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }
}

Step 5 : Open AndroidManifest.xml and add following code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.gudivada.hemanthsomaraju"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.gudivada.hemanthsomaraju.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Step 6 : Our output will be like this :

        Uri UriPath = Uri.parse
         ("android.resource://balaji.videoview_static/" + R.raw.how);
       
        video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1);
        controller = new MediaController(MainActivity.this);
   
        video.setMediaController(controller);
        video.setVideoURI(UriPath);
   
        video.requestFocus();

         *  if(video.isPlaying()==true)
         *  {
         *  video.stopPlayback();
         *  video.clearFocus();
         *  }       
         *
         */    
    }

    @Override
